Q #6b ~ Job/Work Stress...

6b. Job/Work Stress


According to a report, in India, nearly 3/4 of the employees believe that workers have more on-the-job stress than a generation ago. If job stress affects the employee personally and professionally, it could affect the employer financially to a great extent.

The employer’s loss could be due to the following factors:
1. Accidents

2. Absenteeism

3. Employee turnover

4. Diminished productivity

5. Direct medical, legal, and insurance costs

6. Worker’s compensation awards, etc.


The factors that cause stress at work can be due to the following factors:
1. The demands of the job

2. Meeting deadlines which could be statutory or self-created

3. The lack of support from colleagues and superiors

4. Their relationships with colleagues

5. Working long hours

6. Boring, mundane and repetitive work

7. Accidents at workplace

8. Uncomfortable workplace

9. Lack of training, whether they understand their roles and responsibilities.



Management’s attitude towards the welfare of the workforce:

• Juggling between professional and personal or social commitments
• Overburdened with work
• Not happy with the salary/perks
• Not happy with the job/boss
• Bullying
• Lack of feedback on performance
• Value and contribution
• Technological change
• Lack of clarity of roles and responsibilities

No one seems to be immune; everyone from every perspective seems to experience some level of stress.
