A literature review investigating the state of the art of stress management is going to be finalized.
This work will include a coherent, comprehensive literature review of the last 10 years (2016-2016) on stress management presented in an integrative and critical fashion.
Since the early 1990s, there has been a growing literature on psychological and organizational-level interventions for work-related stress, and associated calls for such interventions to be evaluated.
At the same time, concerns have been expressed about an unique framework for evaluating theoretical and applied research contributions in several organizational contexts (industrial, private, public sector) and with a number of different workers.
The starting point of this review is the reality of organizational life, which is complex and continually changing. Its main perspective is not to offer an alternative to a scientific approach but to argue for a more conceived and eclectic framework for evaluation that combines the psychological and organizational level.
This work will represent a critical, analytical summary and synthesis of the current knowledge “how to manage stress in workplaces” using a psychological and organizational perspective. It will compare and relate different theories, findings, and so on, rather than just summarize them individually. It will be focus on interventions (mainly clinical, environmental/organizational) to manage stress at the workplace. It will not have to be an exhaustive account of everything published on the topic. But it should discuss all the more significant academic literature important for that focus
