What is Work Stress?
We define it as a set of emotional, cognitive, physiological, and behavioral reactions to adverse aspects of the work environment or organization.
Key Fact: It is the second cause of sick leave in the EU. 28% of workers suffer from it, affecting women more due to the double burden of work and home.
Causes and Triggers
Demands vs. Control
Stress arises when demands are high and control or decision-making capacity is low. Social support is key: high support decreases stress, while low support aggravates it.
Skills Mismatch
It also occurs due to the mismatch between the person's skills and the job requirements, generating organizational, physical, and psychological consequences.
