Abstract
Abstract Stress is estimated to cost industry between 75 and 100 billion dollars annually as a result of absenteeism, medical claims and diminished productivity. Two types of stress management programs were studied to evaluate their effectiveness at the worksite. The Time-Life Stress Management Program and a Myers-Briggs Personality Type approach were used. The Time-Life program was given to 113 participants, and 35 participated in the Myers-Briggs program. Baseline stress (strain) scores were obtained using a standardized strain survey instrument. Follow-up strain scores were obtained six to eight months after baseline for 62 percent of the individuals. Both groups showed significant reductions in follow-up strain scores when compared to baseline. Reductions in strain were greater in the group with higher baseline strain scores (Time-Life). Worksite stress management programs have the potential to reduce strain among employees for at least six to eight months.
