The current study explores the issue of occupational stress within NHS setting. The literature review describes the complexity of occupational stress issue. The discussion shows that various organisational and social aspects might determine the level of perceived occupational stress and individual coping abilities. The separate attention is given to stress measuring tools and stress management initiatives that can be used by management team to manage the issue. The discussion shows that if not managed, the high level of occupational stress might incur significant costs to an organisation. The study uses phenomenological stance with the use of OSI-R stress measuring inventory developed by Osipow. The inventory measures three occupational stress dimensions with various corresponding sub dimensions. On the basis of comparative analysis of primary findings against secondary ones the paper suggests improvement strategy.
