Abstract: I-O psychology has been concerned with stress and its effects on the workforce for many years (Selye, 1956; 1974). This focus on disease and the vulnerabilities of the individual, studied from a pathogenic paradigm, was gradually replaced by a new focus on the individuals psychological wellbeing and skills to cope with the demands of stress, studied from a health and growth psychology perspective. We would like to explore how this movement developed, which constructs form part of it, what research outcomes exist within I-O psychology, its application within the field of I-O psychology, and give direction towards future research.
