Employee Health, Coping and Methodologies

This is an annual research series devoted to the examination of occupational stress, health and well being, with particular emphasis on the multi-disciplinary nature of occupational stress. The intent is to pull together the various streams of research from a variety of disciplines to better capture the significant bodies of work in occupational stress and well being. We provide a multidisciplinary and international perspective that gives a thorough and critical assessment of issues in occupational stress and well being. The theme for this volume is: Employee Health, Coping, and Methodologies. • Endocrinological processes associated with job stress: Catecholamine and cortisol responses to acute and chronic stressors. • Health consequences of work-family conflict: The dark side of the work-family interface. • Relationship of the number and distribution of work hours to health and quality-of-life (QOL) outcomes. • Work stress, coping resources, and mental health: A study of America's black elite. • The many roles of control in a stressor-emotion theory of counterproductive work behavior. • The assumed linearity of organizational phenomena: Implications for occupational stress and well-being. • Locating behavioral cynicism at work: Construct issues and performance implications.
