Abstract

The article reviews the diverse literature on occupational health for the years 1991–1995. Models of occupational health and stress were used to develop an overarching taxonomy to conceptually integrate the literature. Key constructs included environmental characteristics, individual characteristics, cognitive appraisal, coping, and short- and long-term outcomes. The literature pertaining to each major construct in this taxonomy is reviewed and then summarized by identifying gaps in the literature and recommendations for future research. The final section of the paper provides general conclusions.
