Job Stress Model

The Job Stress Model explains how various factors at work can cause stress. It highlights the interaction between job demands (like workload and time pressure), job control (the ability to make decisions), and support (from colleagues and management). High demands combined with low control and little support can lead to increased stress and health issues. Conversely, when employees feel empowered and supported, they are more resilient to stress. Understanding this model helps organizations create healthier work environments by balancing demands and providing support, ultimately improving employee well-being and productivity.
