This annual research series is devoted to the examination of occupational stress, health and well being, with particular emphasis on the multi-disciplinary nature of occupational stress. Titles pull together the various streams of research from a variety of disciplines to better capture the significant bodies of work in occupational stress and well being. Volume 9 specifically examines the role of individual difference in occupational stress, health and well being. Individual differences include emotion, personality and even differences in cognition. Seven chapters by authors from three countries and six states, from professions including psychology, sociology and management, analyse topics such as: emotion regulation; narcissism; cognitive adaptation; resiliency; individual differences as they relate to high-risk professions; and, resources as they relate to entitled employees. This volume provides a thorough and critical assessment of knowledge, and gaps in knowledge, in this engaging area of interest in the field of occupational stress. It is highly recommended reading for academic and government researchers in psychology, business, health and well being, education and sociology.

This series promotes theory and research in the growing area of occupational stress, health and well being, and in the process, showcases the work of the best researchers and theorists who contribute to this area. Furthermore, the series promotes the development of truly path-breaking contributions that significantly advance theory and provide specific directions for future work. Each volume of this series has a specific theme and provides a rich compilation of the insights of the top researchers from a variety of fields concerning what we know about work stress and well being and what the critical gaps are that most need attention for the field to progress. The theme for volume 11 concerns the role of emotion and emotion regulation in job stress and well-being.

Mental Health

This peer-reviewed series promotes theory and research in the expanding area of occupational stress, health and well-being. Each volume of this series focuses on a particular topic, allowing authors and readers in that area to critically explore the cutting edge work from their discipline. Interest in organizational demography spans several decades (e.g., Pfeffer, 1983). However, in much of the contemporary research on occupational stress and well-being, demographic factors such as gender, age, and race/ethnicity are evident in the background and controlled in statistical analysis. In this volume, we ask whether that should be the case and the extent to which those demographics impact our experience of stress and well-being. Topics for this volume include age, occupational strain, and well-being using a person-environment fit perspective; race, stress, and well being in organizations; gender facades, biological sex, and gender role stereotypes in the workplace; age, resilience, well-being, and positive work outcomes; conceptual/theoretical issues related to religion and stress/well-being; and sex and sexual orientation on occupational stress and well being.

Economics

The objective of this series is to promote theory and research in the increasingly growing area of occupational stress, health and well being, and in the process, to bring together and showcase the work of the best researchers and theorists who contribute to this area. Volume 13 of Research in Occupational Stress and Well Being is focused on mistreatment in organizations. Mistreatment can be damaging to the individual as well as to the organization. This volume includes critical topics on customer mistreatment, aggression in the workplace, incivility, and workplace ostracism. We consider mistreatment to be a 'workplace stressor' which has been linked to higher emotional burnout, withdrawal behaviors such as tardiness and absenteeism, and lower customer service performance. This is just one example of how mistreatment can affect employees negatively. The topic of this volume, Mistreatment in Organizations, is sure to attract the attention of researchers around the globe.

Volume 17 of Research in Occupational Stress and Well Being is focused on the stress and well-being related to the marketing discipline. This volume is focused on the connections between employee stress, health, and well-being as it relates to marketing, sales, and customers. We have 7 chapters devoted to critical topics such as internal selling, stress at the consumer-employee interface, how leaders can affect the customer experience, and the unique stressors associated with being a persuasion agent. Further, we have two comprehensive empirical reviews of topics in this domain. The first examines the degree to which positive psychology constructs relate to sales performance. The second examines customer mistreatment towards employees and how it impacts their well-being. The final chapter takes a more practitioner perspective and examines the importance of taking into account stress tolerance when selecting and training sales personnel. The objective of this series is to promote theory and research in the increasingly growing area of occupational stress, health and well-being, and in the process, to bring together and showcase the work of the best researchers and theorists who contribute to this area. Questions of work stress and well-being span many disciplines and many specialized journals. One of the virtues of this series has been to provide a multidisciplinary and international platform that gives a thorough and critical assessment of knowledge, and major gaps in knowledge, on occupational stress and well-being.

Volume 18 of Research in Occupational Stress and Well-Being is focused on the stress and well-being related to Entrepreneurship and Small Businesses. This volume focuses on entrepreneurial and small business owners; stress, health, and well-being as it relates to personal, work, and success outcomes. The literature linking stress with entrepreneurship and small business has been somewhat scattered to date in that stress has been treated as an antecedent of decisions to create new ventures, a frequent outcome experienced by entrepreneurs and small business owners (or self-employed businesses), and a moderator of the entrepreneurial process. We attempt to resolve some of the inconsistences theoretically and to better frame future research in this important area of study. We have seven chapters that cover topics from theory-building to context in small businesses to utilizing resources. We have divided our seven chapters into three sections. In the first section, we include three chapters that examine new theories, frameworks and future research agendas in entrepreneurship. In the second section, we have two chapters that examine contexts, specifically, heterogeneity and non-family membership in small businesses. In the final section, we have chapters that examine the important role of resources in entrepreneurship. We believe this volume offers critical analyses of research on stress and entrepreneurship as well new frameworks for future research.
