Summary
  1. 'Managing' Stress provides a thought-provoking and timely alternative to prevailing approaches to stress at work. These invariably present stress as a 'fact of modern life' and assume it is the individual who must take primary responsibility for his or her capacity - or incapacity - to cope. This book, by contrast, sets stress at work in the context of wider debates about emotion, subjectivity and power in organizations, viewing it as an emotional product of the social and political features of work and organizational life. The book will be essential reading for all those interested in this important topic within organizational psychology and sociology, social work, organizational behaviour, and management and organization studies.
