A dark side of productivity improvement techniques
Abstract
Examines the trend in productivity improvement and the concurrent increase in stress‐related incapacity. Hypothesises a possible connection between productivity improvement techniques and stress, focusing on a number of studies examining stress in the workplace, the relationship between new technologies and stress, and socio‐technical systems and stress. Concludes with recommendations for reducing the adverse effects of stress.
