Theoretical and Methodological Problems Within Occupational Stress and Burnout Research
审视了职业压力和倦怠研究的隐含假设，指出两者因过度依赖心理学视角而忽视了社会条件与主观体验的复杂关系，建议引入社会学概念并分析组织显隐功能对个体工作体验的影响。
This article examines the implicit assumptions underlying current research into occupational stress and burnout. It argues that the two fields utilize similar theoretical models and research techniques and therefore have a number of problems in common. These problems arise from their common tendency to adopt a psychological perspective which pays insufficient attention to the complexity of the interrelationship between social conditions and subjective experience. The article suggests that both fields could be strengthened by incorporating more sociological concepts and developing analyses of the effects which discrepancies between the manifest and latent functions and surface and deep structures of organizations have on the individual's subjective experiences of work. The value of such analyses is illustrated with three examples of empirical research utilizing this perspective.
