This book is an adaptation of a research presented at the National University of the Altiplano - Peru, which aimed to determine the degree of incidence of the aerobic step program on work stress for administrative staff that corresponds to a quasi-experimental design with a single pre and posttest group. The study population was 24 administrative workers who work in the positions of deanery secretaries, department directors, study directors and research directors to whom the step aerobics program was applied. To measure work stress, the questionnaire by Prieto and Trucco (1995) was used, based on three dimensions: physiological and psychological symptoms and behavioral stressors, consisting of 48 questions. The instrument was adapted and validated through expert judgment, the Cronbach's Alpha statistician found was 0.879, very close to 1, which indicates that the instrument has a high consistency. The study concluded, through the T Student statistical test, with a coefficient 4.03 less than the alpha value equal to 0.05, that there is significant evidence of pre and posttest, therefore, before the experiment, 25% are in normal stress, 34% mild, 31% moderate and 10% severe. After the intervention, the physiological and psychological symptoms decreased significantly, showing levels: 38% normal, 39% mild, 17% moderate and 6% severe. Demonstrating the effectiveness of the step aerobics program in work stress, its permanent practice will improve work activities and the overall health of the university worker. El presente libro es una adaptación de una investigación presentada a la Universidad Nacional del Altiplano – Perú, que tuvo como objetivo determinar el grado de incidencia del programa de aerobic step en el estrés laboral para el personal administrativo que corresponde a un diseño cuasiexperimental con un sólo grupo de pre y pos test. La población de estudio fue de 24 trabajadoras administrativas que se desempeñan en los cargos de secretarias de decanato, direcciones de departamento, direcciones de estudio y direcciones de investigación a quienes se les aplicó el programa de aerobic step. Para medir el estrés laboral se utilizó el cuestionario de Prieto y Trucco (1995), basado en tres dimensiones: síntomas fisiológicos, psicológicos y los estresores comportamentales que consta de 48 preguntas. El instrumento fue adaptado y validado a través de juicio de expertos, el estadígrafo de Alpha de Cronbach hallado fue de 0.879, muy próximo a 1, por lo que se indica que el instrumento tiene una consistencia alta. El estudio concluyó, a través de la prueba estadística T Student, con un coeficiente 4,03 menor al valor de alfa igual a 0.05, que existe evidencia significativa de pre y post test, por lo tanto, antes del experimento el 25% se encuentra en un estrés normal, el 34% leve, 31% moderado y 10% grave. Luego de la intervención los síntomas fisiológicos y psicológicos disminuyeron notablemente mostrando niveles: 38% normal, 39% leve, 17% moderado y 6% grave. Demostrando la efectividad del programa de aerobic step en el estrés laboral, su práctica permanente permitirá mejorar sus actividades laborales y la salud integral del trabajador universitario.

This book investigates attitudes to the avoidance and management of stress by project managers within the professional construction industry. The author argues that a widespread toxic culture belonging to the industry substantially contributes to industry stress, and analyses stress impacts among construction professionals, as well as the industry-specific causes of stress. The impacts and causes of stress of construction project managers are compared with those of other employees in the construction industry and with attitudes from across broader industry. The author concludes by establishing a leadership model for government and private organisations to effectively address a construction industry systemic problem head on.

This book examines transitions from law school to the legal profession, and their impact on wellbeing. There is a significant body of evidence that suggests law student wellbeing is particularly problematic, partially due to the distinctive nature of law as a discipline. Similarly, there is a growing body of international evidence demonstrating poor levels of wellbeing within the legal profession, with lawyers suffering higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression than the general population. To date there has been no detailed consideration of the impact of these transitions on wellbeing, or discussion of the best ways to ameliorate any negative effects. This edited collection will explore a range of transitions, from entry into law school through to progression to managerial roles within the legal profession. Rather than focusing on discrete areas or chunks of time, this book focuses on the process of transitioning holistically. .
