Marking criteria
[How to get a perfect answer for the above question]
There are a number of empirical studies on workplace stress, ranging
from Johansson et al’s
psychophysiological work in a sawmill, through Chen & Spector’s
questionnaire study, to Kahn & Cuthbertson’s study of
the home/work interface. Research on stress and e.g. cardiovascular
disorders can also be made relevant to workplace stress, but would
not receive credit unless explicitly linked.
Emphasis must be on procedures and findings, rather than general
aims and overall conclusions. A specific study must be identifiable,
even if only procedures or findings are described, but this can
include classroom/own studies, which could match criteria for marks
in the top band.
To receive credit, any study described must be explicitly linked
to workplace stressors; on this basis, non-human animal studies
could be acceptable. If several studies are described, the best
should be credited. |
