Sisley, RCHenning, MAHawken, SJMoir, F2011-12-042011-12-0420102010New Zealand Journal of Employment Relations, vol.35(2), pp.3 - 15https://hdl.handle.net/10292/3011Given that interventions for workplace stress have been shown to be effective, and behaviour change can be sustained over time (Veach, Rahe, Tolles and Newhall, 2003), a model that can serve to monitor the medium and long-term effects of both stressors and stress-management interventions should prove useful. After reviewing some familiar concepts in the stress arena, this paper presents such a model, building on existing work (Diehl and Hay, 2010; Ray, 2008; Selye, 1970, 1976; Zubin and Spring, 1977) and it is thought that this adapted model will be useful for management personnel, counsellors, educators, employees, and researchers.The copyright of published articles is held by ER Publishing Ltd.
