Questions about the causes or sources of work stress have been the
subject of considerable research, as well as public fascination,
for several decades. Earlier interest in this issue focused on the
question of whether some jobs are simply more inherently stressful
than others. Other questions that soon emerged asked whether some
individuals were more prone to stress than others. The Handbook of
Work Stress focuses primarily on identifying the different sources
of work stress across different contexts and individuals. Part I
focuses on work stressors that have been studied for decades (e.g.,
organizational-role stressors, work schedules) as well as stressors
that have received less empirical and public scrutiny (e.g.,
industrial-relations stress, organizational politics). It also
addresses stressors in the workplace that have become relevant more
recently (e.g., terrorism). Part II of the Handbook covers issues
related to gender, cultural or national origin, older and younger
workers, and employment status, and asks how these characteristics
might affect the experience of workplace stress. The adverse
consequences of these diverse work stressors are manifold, and
questions about the possible health consequences of work stressors
were one of the major historical factors prompting early interest
and research on work stress. In Part III, the individual and
organizational consequences of work stress are considered in
separate chapters. Key Features: Affords the most broad and
credible perspective on the subject of work stress available The
editors are all prominent researchers in the field of work stress,

resources, health psychology, public health, and employee
assistance.
