Abstract
Relief services provided by corporations to employees following a natu ral disaster were expected to be associated with reduced levels of emp loyee strains. Data from 143 hurricane victims partially supported thi s prediction, revealing that tangible support meeting employees' prima ry needs had the most numerous effects over the course of the disaster aftermath.
