N2 - Ninety reports of systematic evaluations of job-stress
interventions were rated in terms of the degree of systems
approach used. A high rating was defined as both
organizationally and individually focused, versus moderate
(organizational only), and low (individual only).
Studies using high-rated approaches represent a growing
proportion of the job-stress intervention evaluation
literature. Individual-focused, low-rated approaches are
effective at the individual level, favorably affecting individual-
level outcomes, but tend not to have favorable
impacts at the organizational level. Organizationallyfocused
high- and moderate-rated approaches are beneficial
at both individual and organizational levels. Further
measures are needed to foster the dissemination
and implementation of systems approaches to examining
interventions for job stress.
