Toward a Phase Model of Burnout Stress in Organizations: Toward a Phase Model of Burnout, (Hardcover)

Stress in Organizations presents evidence that burn-out is epidemic in all organizations, not just people-oriented ones, and simple solutions, such as stress management workshops, aren't always the answer. The book develops a model of burn-out based upon extensive research and organizational case studies. In addition to identifying the phases of burn-out, personality, and organizational factors in its development, the authors suggest treatment and policy implications. Human resources managers, in fact managers at all levels, will find the book useful and eye-opening.
