The Culture-Work-Health Model and Work Stress
Objective:
To describe the role of organizational culture in the etiology of
workplace stress through the framework of the Culture-Work-Health
model. Methods: A review of the business and health literature
related to organizational culture was conducted and applied to the
model. Results: Culture is an important component of work
stress and may be a key to creating effective organizational stress
interventions. Conclusion: Work stress is as much a managerial
and business concern as a health concern when it is framed in a
cultural argument, and the Culture-Work-Health model provides a
theoretical basis for new directions in ameliorating work stress.
