Teaching a Comprehensive Course on Stress and Work
DeFrank, Richard S.
Journal of Management Education, v36 n2 p143-165 Apr 2012
Given the growing literature on and documented importance of workplace stress, it is suggested that this topic deserves more than a casual mention in introductory management classes. The current article reviews a comprehensive course dedicated to the phenomenon of stress in the work setting, which addresses issues such as theories, demands and stressors, and individual and organizational consequences and coping methods. The structure and learning objectives of the course are also detailed, along with some future directions for incorporating work stress into other aspects of management education. (Contains 1 table.)
