Abstract
The management and reduction of occupational stress are recognized as key factors in promoting employee well‐being. Nursing is one of the many disciplines contributing to a huge body of research into the causes and effect of the ill‐defined phenomenon of occupational stress. This literature review considers the ontological contribution of a number of disciplines to a growing body of knowledge on the subject of stress. The paper examines the complex issue of stress management, highlighting the impact of organizational culture and transformational leadership style on staff satisfaction levels.Keywords
