“…Thirdly , so far, the managerial understanding of employees' job-related stress on performance is inconclusive. For example, the research identifies stress as injurious to employees' physical and mental health (Ray, 1991) and counter-productive to overall organizational performance (Berridge and Cooper, 2013). However, our findings suggest that employees with creative abilities consider job-related stress as a responsibility to put effort into innovative outcomes.…”

“…Irrespective of economic conditions, both developed and developing countries face increasing stress at work (Stress, 2016). Managers perceive that focus is counter-productive to organizational and financial goals (Berridge and Cooper, 2013). Stress is injurious to workers' physical and psychological health, addicts them to drugs and alcohol abuse, and low morale (Ray, 1991), low productivity, and high absenteeism.…”

PurposeThis research explores the moderating role of empowering leadership, job-related stress and workplace politics on the link between employee creativity and innovation output.Design/methodology/approachTo test the hypothesized relationships, the authors used a questionnaire survey to nest the data from subordinates (n = 388) and their supervisors (n = 151) working for the emerging markets of Pakistan and analyzed data by using the SmartPLS-SEM technique.FindingsEmployee creativity is positively associated with innovation output. The moderation by empowering leadership and employee job-related stress further strengthens the association between employee creativity and innovation output. However, the creativity of employees is not directed toward innovation if they are involved in politics.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings will help modern managers to understand the importance of enhancing employee creativity through empowering leadership. Such leadership delegates authority enables employee motivation, develops a conducive working environment by eliminating workplace politics and ensures the well-being of employees. It offers employees the confidence to unleash their creative efforts for innovation.Practical implicationsThe managers can benefit from the findings: a) to enhance the abilities of creative employees for innovation outputs by practicing the role of empowering leadership, b) the extent to which employees display job-related stress and enhances their innovation outputs and c) to be aware of the inverse effects of creative employees' involvement in workplace politics on innovation.Originality/valueAlthough the previous research was well established on the link between creativity and innovation, the authors knew a little about the factors that can strengthen/weaken this relationship. The authors believe that the findings are a small effort to solve the pieces of the puzzle in the literature.

Increasing evidence exists that workplace absence due to stress-related conditions is a growing problem in Europe. However, the priority on the issue varies between countries. The costs of occupational stress are difficult to accurately quantify, and the incentives for investing in stress-prevention activities are less apparent at an organizational level than in the United States. Consequently, expansion in this area has been considerably slower. The authors present an overview of the problems of occupational stress within Europe. They discuss the response and intervention characteristics of European employers and policymakers and possible developments. If organizations are to become more proactive in their approach to stress prevention, there needs to be a framework for assessing, implementing, and evaluating interventions. The authors outline a framework to adopt.
