Chapter 24 in From Stress to Wellbeing Volume 2, 2013, pp 14-31 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In many business organizations, managers hold a perception of stress as being counter-productive to the economic goals of the enterprise. Their implicit mental structures of the organization are that of a smooth-running machine or system. If disruptions or disjunctures occur, their response is to devise a mechanism or procedure to restore the organization to a steady state, or even the original state as far as possible. Having done so, they customarily seek to retain the organization at that controlled and predictable level of functioning.
