Abstract

In addition to processes of subjectivation and dissolution, stressful situations and psychological complaints are constantly increasing; up to now companies are not doing enough to fight these symptoms on an organisational and cultural level. Against this backdrop we analyse 60 qualitative interviews regarding the question of how political skills as a subjective coping strategy can have an impact on health. The results reveal that political skills are indeed a useful resource to reduce stress and should be analysed further as to their health promoting potential.
