Team Coping: Cross-Level Influence of Team Member Coping Activities on Individual Burnout

Coping with stress has been primarily investigated as an individual-level phenomenon. In work settings, however, an individual’s exposure to demands is often shared with co-workers, and the process of dealing with these demands takes place in the interaction with them. Coping, therefore, may be conc...
