Stress audit as a mechanism of HRD: Alternative approaches and strategies of human resources development: national HRD network

Abstract

The term stress has come to acquire many negative connotations. Its nature is not understood properly by the individual executives and sometimes even by the scientists themselves. A critique of the earlier works on stress was recently presented by present author (Pestinjee, D.M. 1987). In fact, stress is not necessarily negative, distasteful or counterproductive.
