ABSTRACT

Recognizing that work occupies a substantial portion of the time that people spend in their waking lives, and recognizing that in any context work is a major source of personal stress or satisfaction, it is clear that attention to occupational mental health provides a significant opportunity both to identify potential resources that people can use to enhance their satisfaction and effectiveness, as well as a significant source of difficulty that either has to be addressed through intervention or which can be prevented or minimized by appropriate programmatic interventions at earlier stages.
