Work-related stress

Work-related stress can be caused by various events. For example, a person might feel under pressure if the demands of their job (such as hours or responsibilities) are greater than they can comfortably manage. Other sources of work-related stress include conflict with co-workers or bosses, constant change, and threats to job security, such as potential redundancy. Whether or not a person experiences work-related stress depends on the job, the person’s psychological make-up, and other factors such as personal life and general health.
