Abstract

Contemporary studies highlight how chronic stress influences a person's state of health and psycho-physical well-being. A high allostatic load, resulting from chronic hyperactivation of the stress system, contributes to several negative consequences for individual health status in the long term.
The study showed that the stressful and problematic situations of managerial work are numerous and that they radically influence individual psychophysical well-being both in the professional context and in private life. Greater attention to the evaluative dimension of managers' discomfort is useful and functional, in order to promote improvement actions that concretely constitute an opportunity to reflect on the "managerial practices" adopted that can create workplace discomfort.
This study has led to the need to promote good practices for the prevention of mental health and the activation of coping strategies and protection systems.
