Job Stress

Job stress refers to the physical and emotional strain experienced when work demands exceed an individual's ability to cope or when there are conflicting pressures or expectations. It can arise from various factors such as tight deadlines, heavy workloads, difficult coworkers, job insecurity, or lack of control over tasks. While a certain level of stress can motivate performance, excessive or prolonged stress may lead to health issues like anxiety, fatigue, and burnout, impacting overall well-being and productivity. Managing job stress involves identifying sources of pressure, maintaining work-life balance, and adopting coping strategies.
