Abstract:

Research on work stress is on the rise as evidence is mounting about the negative health consequences and economic losses associated with the phenomenon. Mainstream work stress research utilizes large samples and quantitative, positivist research methodologies. An important alternative research approach complementing these efforts is provided by case-study based and qualitative research methodologies. In this paper, the author proposes a multiperspective qualitative research methodology, bringing together the critical research perspective with an emphasis on deep social structures and the postmodern perspective with an emphasis on the role of language and discourse. The arguments for a multiperspective, qualitative approach for researching work stress are supported by the results of an exemplary case-study based research carried out in a Hungarian manufacturing plant.
