Conservation of resources: A new attempt at conceptualizing stress
Abstract
Major perspectives concerning stress are presented with the goal of clarifying the nature of what has proved to be a heuristic but vague construct. Current conceptualizations of stress are challenged as being too phenomenological and ambiguous, and consequently, not given to direct empirical testing. Indeed, it is argued that researchers have tended to avoid the problem of defining stress, choosing to study stress without reference to a clear framework. A new stress model called the model of conservation of resources is presented as an alternative. This resource-oriented model is based on the supposition that people strive to retain, project, and build resources and that what is threatening to them is the potential or actual loss of these valued resources. Implications of the model of conservation of resources for new research directions are discussed.

“Conservation of resources theory (COR) (Hobfoll, 1989) can be used to understand the consequences of utilizing a servant leadership approach on the leaders themselves, and how the negative consequences can be mitigated and positive outcomes enhanced.”

“Specifically, COR theory argues that individuals seek to gain resources (e.g.supportive work practices, supportive leaders, feedback) to protect against resource loss, with resource loss primarily being linked to negative outcomes (e.g.stress, burnout, mental illness).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
