About this listen

 Work-related stress comes in different forms and affects the mind and body in different ways. Little things can make you feel stressed, like a copier that never seems to work when you need it or phones that don't stop ringing. The main stress comes from having too much work or not enough work, or doing a job that does not satisfy you. Conflicts with your boss, your co-workers or clients are other major causes of stress.

Having a little stress is normal. Stress releases hormones that speed up your heart, make you breathe faster, and give you a rush of energy. Stress can be helpful when you need to focus or finish a large project. But too much stress or going through a stressful situation for a long time is not good for you. Constant stress can make you more likely to get sick more often. It can make chronic pain worse, and it can also lead to long-term health problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, back problems, and depression.

Look for these signs of job stress:

- Headache.
- Trouble sleeping.
- Trouble concentrating.
- Moody mood.
- Stomach ache.
- Job dissatisfaction and low morale.

    What is the cause of work stress?

    Most of the time, it is the main sources of stress that cause job burnout and health problems. Work stress can also affect your home life. Here are some common sources of major job stress, with examples of each:

    Lack of control

    Feeling like you have no control over your job or job tasks is the single most important cause of job stress. People who feel out of control at work are more likely to have stress-related illnesses.

    Increased liability

    Taking on additional tasks at your job is stressful. You can become more stressed if you have too much work to do and can't say no to new tasks.

    Job satisfaction and performance

    Are you proud of your job? If your job is not meaningful, you may find it stressful. Are you worried about doing well at work? Feeling insecure about job performance is one of the main sources of stress for many people.

    Uncertainty about job functions

    Not being sure about your tasks, how your job might change, or the goals of your department or company can lead to stress. If you are reporting to more than one boss and juggling the requests of different managers, this can also be stressful.

    Poor communication

    Often times, job stress comes from poor communication. Not being able to talk about your needs, concerns, and frustrations can create stress.

    Lack of support

    Lack of support from your boss or coworkers makes it harder to solve other problems at work that cause you stress.

    Poor working conditions

    Unpleasant or dangerous physical conditions, such as crowding, noise, or ergonomic problems, can cause stress.
