Workers in the service industry face unique types and levels of
stress, and this problem is worsening. Many workers and
organizations are now recognizing work stress as a significant
personal and organizational cost, and seeing the need to evaluate a
range of organizational issues that present psychosocial hazards to
the workers. Occupational Stress in the Service Professions
introduces the reader to contemporary theoretical and research
issues and then provides a comprehensive international review of a
range of professions including nurses, correctional officers,
police, fire fighters, volunteers, academics, the clergy and
teachers. The book identifies the main sources of stress for these
specific occupation work groups, and the implications for
intervention. The range of contributions from researchers in
Australia, The Netherlands, Germany, Canada, United Kingdom, and
the United States presents an international perspective. Well
illustrated with case-studies of a number of organizations, the
book serves to explore the political and social nature of the work
stress problem. It then concludes with a chapter on the
implications for intervention, policy and the future and aims to
present a theoretical synthesis, applicable to the whole sector.
Graduate students, researchers, and high level HR professions will
find this an invaluable work.
