Organizational Change and Stress Management

Organization change and stress management are widely recognized as two major problems in today's organizational life (Vakola & Nikolaou, 2005). If there is constant in the business world, that is a change (Washington & Hacker, 2005). However, as pressure changes, normal pressure is applied.

Organization Change Compared to Stress Management Training and EAP Program, David's company is trying to soften work pressure by hiring consultants to recommend ways to improve working conditions. This is the most straightforward way to reduce workload. It involves identifying stress aspects of work (eg excess work, contradictory expectations) and strategic design and reducing or eliminating identified stress factors. The advantage of this method is that it can directly address the root cause of working pressure. However, administrators sometimes feel uncomfortable with this approach because they may involve changes in work procedures, production plan, or organizational structure.
