The repertory grid technique proposed by Kelly (1955) has been used in a research-intervention on work-related stress in order to investigate the personal and professional experiences of a group of health care workers. This group was composed of 81 senior physicians, nurses and managers with coordinating responsibilities, all of whom worked as part of a large health care organization in northern Italy. The survey was based on the strong points and critical aspects that had emerged in a previous evaluation of work-related stress among the employees of the same health organization. Findings provide useful indications for further research-intervention initiatives, as well as formative counseling at both group and individual levels. The results also highlight the modernity, flexibility and usefulness of the repertory grid technique in organizational studies.

Abstract
The repertory grid technique proposed by Kelly (1955) has been used in a research-intervention on work-related stress in order to investigate the personal and professional experiences of a group of health care workers. This group was composed of 81 senior physicians, nurses and managers with coordinating responsibilities, all of whom worked as part of a large health care organization in northern Italy. The survey was based on the strong points and critical aspects that had emerged in a previous evaluation of work-related stress among the employees of the same health organization. Findings provide useful indications for further research-intervention initiatives, as well as formative counseling at both group and individual levels. The results also highlight the modernity, flexibility and usefulness of the repertory grid technique in organizational studies.
