Reviews
'Theory plays a critical role in scientific progress-it provides scholars with a framework for understanding their research findings, and it helps practitioners make sense of real-world problems. This book does an excellent job of introducing readers to the many theoretical perspectives used in the job stress literature.' -- Nathan A. Bowling, Wright State University, US
