| Abstract: | Coping is often viewed as mediating the impact of stress on distress and thereby influencing psychological well-being. Coping is suggested to be considered from the perspective of the individual's employing organization. That is, from a managerial perspective, workers may cope with job stressors in intended or unintended ways. Among a sample of professional and managerial personnel of an insurance company, it was found that global evaluations of the job and evaluations of the specific stressor were associated with organizationally intended and unintended ways of coping with the stressor. The contingency between performance and incentive compensation were positively related to organizationally intended ways of coping with an incentive compensation plan. |
