The concept of personal factors fit in occupational psychology and researchers have suggested that for the least circumstances of psychological disorders, there is a need for a balance between personal characteristics and organizational factors [6].

Personal factors could act as intervening variables between the causes and effects of psychological health conditions of employees. This study focused on six personal intervening factors that were associated with the risks of occupational psychological disorders namely: low self-esteem, negative personality trait, unproductive core beliefs, poor self-concept evaluation on performance, poor relationship with others and poor time management skills. An investigation on the level of severity of these personal intervening factors was conducted involving 150 construction professionals and 150 construction trade workers, who were purposively selected in Ghana. The personal factors that were found to be prevalent among the construction employees were low self-esteem and poor time management skills.

Conventional wisdom in the field of management emphasizes the reduction of stress in the workplace. Although the authors of this chapter recognize the demonstrated destructive nature of negative stress, they argue that the introduction of positive stress has the potential to improve the health and wellbeing for organizations and workers. Five positive pathways through which stress can contribute to building a healthy workplace are explored: strength of character, self‐awareness, power sharing, requisite self‐reliance, and a supportive organizational culture. Following a summary and integration of these five positive pathways, the authors offer essential practical suggestions related to stress interventions which promote healthy organizations and people. Finally, the chapter presents some promising findings from a review of the stress intervention literature.
