Understanding stress management intervention success: A case study-based analysis of what works and why.Thesis synopsis:Work related stress can negatively impact individuals, organisations and society as a whole. Although there is an abundance of literature around the effects and costs of stress, research on how stress is combated in the workplace with stress management interventions (SMIs) and their evaluation and effectiveness is scarce. The main aim of this study is to address this gap by understanding the process of SMI development and implementation. Furthermore, it explores who the main contributors are when it comes to implementing SMIs, determining their role in the process, in order to understand why organisations choose to implement certain interventions over others. This study will potentially serve to be a useful tool to help determine what influences the success or failure of an intervention. Show less
