ABSTRACT

SUMMARY. The popular press has informed the public that stress can be efficiently managed with a diverse array of techniques and programs. Unfortunately, these claims have not been scientifically tested or evaluated. In fact, organizational based stress management intervention programs which incorporated well designed evaluations have rarely even been attempted. This paper provides a stress management framework and then reviews the literature to determine what can be done to increase researcher interest and dedication to scientifically designing, implementing, and evaluating organizational level stress management intervention programs.
