We discuss a possible role of non-radial oscillations as a cause of mass-loss in hot stars. In particular, we propose a working model for the episodic mass-loss in Be stars. In this model, equatorial mass loss is thought to be driven by wave-breaking phenomenon of large-amplitude non-radial waves and a circumstellar disk could thus be formed around the equatorial plane of a rapidly rotating star. A kind of relaxation-oscillation cycle could be established between the Be phase and non-Be phase, in which an interplay between non-radial oscillations in stellar atmosphere and the circumstellar disk is essential. We also discuss a viscous decretion-disk model for the circumstellar envelope around Be stars.
