Recensione:

"This is a really important book because it looks at the role of managers in creating or preventing stress in the workplace. The UK Government's Foresight project on Mental Capital and Wellbeing clearly highlights the fact that managerial style is implicated in people's health and wellbeing at work. A must-read for those trying to manage stress in organizations."
--Professor Cary L. Cooper, CBE, Distinguished Professor of Organizational Psychology and Health, Lancaster University Management School
 
"The authors of this book know their stuff and have written a very practical guide. This is much more than just another "how to" book for managers; it draws on the authors' extensive research and provides a solid evidence-based framework for positive management."
--Professor Ivan Robertson, Director, Robertson Cooper Ltd
 
"This is a comprehensive and practical review which is helpful in documenting the key role of line managers in ensuring health-promoting workplaces. The authors' experience is supported by well-chosen case studies and helps to provide clear advice. Preventing Stress in Organizations clarifies the plethora of research in this complex field and provides pragmatic solutions to the common and costly issue of organizational stress management."
