[Stress in the workplace].
This paper examines a complex argument such as stress, focusing on those elements of the work environment that play a significant role in the generation of its symptomatology or exercising a protective function against it. Two factors have to be examined in order to understand and predict stress at work: the individuals' behavior and the organizational and environmental context. The scientific-pragmatic approach proposed by Behavior Analysis is examined. This approach emphasizes the need to evaluate the presence of coherent contingencies for each work group and, above all, the typology and the quality of consequences.
