ABSTRACT: Objective: Review literature regarding the efficacy of stress management interventions
in the private sector workplace. As stress is deemed to have a cognitive
variable, the paper focuses exclusively on interventions that had a
cognitive-based program. This is the first review paper to examine the private
sector workplace exclusively. Method: Search from 2000 to date for any
studies evaluating cognitive-based stress management interventions in the
private sector workplace. Studies can include either an in-person/group
delivery or individual/via web delivery. Sixteen studies were identified. Results: There is high heterogeneity across the studies in demographics, design,
population samples, and program length. Except for one study, all programs
showed medium to high significance effect sizes on the primary measure of
reduced perception of stress. A select number of studies showed greater
increases at six months+ follow-up data collection points. There was no
consistent data regarding whether online or in-person delivery was more
effective. Conclusions: Stress management interventions can be a useful
tool to provide employees with the cognitive skills required to combat and
prevent stress. The choice of the correct tool for the organization’s specific
needs may be of significance for efficacy. Thorough consideration of
implementation and evaluation of the program is advised for maximum efficacy.
With consistent usage of the skills learned, employees may see not only an
increase in their stress management skills
over time but also an increase in their sense of self-efficacy. Increased self-efficacy may lead to positive improvements in other areas of
their life beyond the professional sphere.
