About this Research Topic
The objective of this Research Topic is to develop a comprehensive view of the complexity of chronic stress in workplace environments. We invite definitions (facets, dimensions, factors, and /or axes) and report on corresponding metrics. We invite researchers to share innovative tools to measure chronic stress and resilience in the workplace.
Although diagnosis is a precondition to an effective intervention, promoting the state of resilience, we invite researchers to report on systemic and systematic attempts to convert chronic stress into resilience. We also invite researchers to present and discuss the key individual differences and traits that play an independent or moderating roles in helping prevent chronic stress and promoting resilience from an organizational behavior view.
This Research Topic hopes to achieve the following:
• Find a new definition of chronic stress and resilience in work-settings.
• Offer innovative conceptual framework to understand chronic stress and/or resilience.
• Report on empirical studies (in different cultures, sectors, or organizations) where chronic stress and/or resilience was tested. Report clearly the results and the implications.
• New features/angles to interventions in managing chronic stress and enhancing resilience.
All types of research will be accepted, be it qualitative (case studies) or empirical analyses. The latter should respect the corresponding psychometric properties in terms of validity and reliability conventional norms. We also accept new conceptual/theoretical papers (will written and articulated) that shed new light on the concept of chronic stress and/or resilience at the work-setting.
