| Abstract: | Emotions and stress are inextricably entangled: being stressed has bodily as well as emotional implications for human beings. The widespread distinction between mind and body in organization theory, following the Carterian doctrine, blocks an adequate theorization of stress. The limitations of the tradition in Western thinking, Cartesian over Spinozist philosophy, are that mind is favoured over body, thinking over emotions. This article presents a study of the experience of stress in a pharmaceutical company. It suggests that stress is to be conceived of as a bodily phenomenon while incorporating the emotional qualities of human beings. |
