Introduction -- Costs of occupational stress -- Causes of occupational stress -- Dealing with occupational stress -- A stress audit technique -- Summary and conclusion. Management problems occur if excessive levels of job stress go unrecognized and uncontrolled. Managers and supervisors of employees are in a unique position to recognize and react to symptoms in their people. A stress audit technique was developed as a tool that can be used by managers to assess levels and sources of organizational stress affecting employees within the audit's scope. Once assessed, managers can weigh the risks of these stressors, compare them with moderating factors being employed by the company and take actions as believed appropriate. Some actions may be applied directly while other may be recommended to upper management of Human Resource department implementation. The stress audit process, best competed in a collaborative effort with others, follows five steps. 1. Internal and external stressors affecting the organizational and individual are tabulated in an Occupational Stressor format. Each item is weighed and scored according to its impact on the organization. 2. Existing moderating factors, both organizational and individual are listed in a Moderating Factor table. As with the stressors, each moderator is weighed and scored. 3. Key stressors and moderating factors are next posted in a Stressor / Moderator Summary fomat and evaluated. The outcome of this summary are the stressors and moderators believed most influential on the company or department. 4. Needed interventions are undertaken. This is a collective judgment by those participating in the audit. 5. Repeat the audit after some time and make course corrections as needed. Furnish ample amounts of feedback with employees, seeking their continued input. Use of the proposed stress audit technique by managers and supervisors in an informal and periodic manner will increase the likelihood of early problem detection. Intervention at an earlier stage can be much less costly, avoid Workers' Compensation and promote greater employee happiness.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .L37 1998 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
