Conceptual paper outlines a brief hybrid intervention to enhance stress management in SME executives, suggesting its practical application.
Executive managers in small-to-medium enterprises represent a high-risk demographic for occupational stress, yet they are underserved by traditional Employee Assistance Programmes due to severe time constraints. This conceptual paper integrates cognitive behavioral coaching, solution-focused brief therapy, and problem-solving coaching methods into a novel, geographically independent, and cost-effective psychoeducational three-session limited stress management intervention. The article details the framework, sessions, the specific intervention architecture, and a step-by-step implementation strategy. By aligning contrasting modalities, this protocol offers organizational psychologists and coaches a replicable, time-efficient tool to target cognitive stress appraisal and promote resilience, bridging the gap between clinical theory and applied practice.
