On the importance of the objective environment in stress and attribution theory. Counterpoint to Perrewe and Zellars

Article Abstract:

The use of the Lazarus stress and causal attribution theory in assessing work-related stress does not guarantee accurate results due to the inherent limitations of these these two concepts. Associating causal attributes with stress-emotion relationships tend to yield inaccurate data since individuals react differently when confronted with a particular stressor. Objective work attributes, likewise, generate inconsistent results since they are too general to predict employee strain.
