Abstract: Because people with disabilities often experience an increased risk
for physical and psychological complications of job stress, vocational
rehabilitation professionals must be able to (a) identify individual and
work-environmental risk factors for job stress and (b) design appropriate
interventions to minimize those risk factors. The purpose of this article is to
(a) present two models of occupational stress, (b) examine factors common to
each of these models that are associated with employee health and well-being,
and (c) suggest implications for rehabilitation planning.
