Stress and stress management among owner‐managers of small and medium‐sized enterprises

Abstract

The “stress management industry” has developed whereby organizations and individuals offer stress management interventions. These interventions claim to address a problem, about which there is still a great deal of uncertainty. Most of the literature about stress and its management has been derived from, and thus limited to, large organizations. Explores the issue of stress management as it is experienced by owner‐managers of small and medium‐sized businesses in the UK. Looks at some of the more recent theoretical and empirical literature and concludes with recommendations for stress management within the small firms sector.
