Abstract: Technical research and findings concerning job stress are translated from current medical psychiatric practice into understandable, useful information for the managers and the general public. Guidance is given for recognizing stressful job situations, dealing with stress reactions, and how organizations and individuals can prevent stress. Specifically, the material identifies the major variables of job stress and suggests methods for assessing stress factors, handling stress reactions, and avoiding negative reactions before they occur. Checklists are included for individuals to evaluate how much work stress they encounter daily. (wz).
