Workplace Stress - Stress can be so harmful to employees that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) considers it to be an occupational hazard. An organization's human resource (HR) policies and practices create important forces that greatly influence organizational behavior (OB) and important work outcomes. Organizational culture has a profound effect on organizational effectiveness, the behavior of its members, and how it responds to new challenges and changes in its environment.
