Over the past decade, 'workplace stress' has become a major concern for companies, campaigning organisations, and NGOs in many parts of the world. There is evidence this is a major cause of mental health problems from anxiety and depression to suicide, and of lost productivity due to absenteeism and 'presenteeism'. Campaigning organisations have been set up, often with the support of large employers, to identify individuals experiencing workplace stress and to provide them with mental health first aid, to teach coping strategies, and where necessary direct them to mental health services. While some of these are managed by the HR departments of large corporations, others are undertaken by specific mental health teams. But what of workplace stress in the work situations of the most marginalised -the workers in the warehouses of the e-Commerce firms such as Amazon, those in the 'gig economy', the self-employed and others in precarious employment, and those whose traditional forms of employment have been eroded by 'globalisation' and economic change? This PhD project will undertake research on the origins and spread of the concern with workplace stress, place this in the context of the changing character of employment and career structures, identify and characterise the responses to it, including the rise and activities of work place stress campaigning organizations, examine evidence on the efficacy of the different strategies involved, and undertake qualitative research in the UK with organizations and employeesontherationalfor,developmentandimplementationof,andresponsestostrategies for combatting 'workplace stress'.

在过去的十年中，“工作场所压力”已成为世界许多地区公司、活动组织和非政府组织的主要关注点。有证据表明，这是导致从焦虑、抑郁到自杀等心理健康问题以及因缺勤和“出勤主义”而导致生产力下降的主要原因。运动组织通常在大型雇主的支持下成立，旨在识别遭受工作压力的个人，为他们提供心理健康急救，教授应对策略，并在必要时指导他们接受心理健康服务。虽然其中一些由大公司的人力资源部门管理，但另一些则由特定的心理健康团队承担。但是，最边缘化人群——亚马逊等电子商务公司仓库里的工人、“零工经济”中的工人、个体经营者和其他就业不稳定的人，以及那些传统就业形式受到“全球化”和经济变革侵蚀的人——的工作环境压力又如何呢？该博士项目将研究工作场所压力问题的起源和传播，将其置于就业和职业结构不断变化的背景下，识别和描述对此的反应，包括工作场所压力运动组织的兴起和活动，检查所涉及的不同策略的有效性证据，并在英国与组织和员工进行定性研究，探讨对抗策略的合理性、发展和实施以及反应 “工作场所压力”。
