Stress is a common feature of the workplace. However, public service occupations are among the most stressful workplaces in the world. Public servants are expected to address society's most difficult and demanding wicked problems, which include pandemics, terrorism, natural disasters, and a host of complex social issues. These problems expose employees to high physical dangers, deep emotional toils, and often constant media, political, and citizen criticism for their efforts. This book aims to do a deep dive into not only the types of stress (i.e., work, organisational, and environmental demands) that are endemic in a variety of public service workplaces (i.e., government, nonprofit, schools, and universities), but also the effects of stress on an assortment of outcomes (i.e., performance, commitment, motivation, happiness, and physical and emotional wellbeing) and the potential mitigation strategies (i.e., coping strategies, support systems, work-life balance, organisational resources, and public service motivation). This book will also leverage the findings of research drawn from a diversity of methodologies, including quantitative as well as qualitative research designs.
