Workplace stress can be defined as the change in one's physical or mental state in
response to workplaces that pose an appraised challenge or threat to that employee.
Research has shown that there are a number of factors that contribute to workplace
stress. These factors include a toxic work environment, negative workload, isolation,
types of hours worked, role conflict, role ambiguity, lack of autonomy, career
development barriers, difficult relationships with administrators and/ or coworkers,
managerial bullying, harassment, and organizational climate. Should the stressors
continue, the employee is at significant risk of developing physiological and
psychological disorders that can lead to increased absenteeism, organizational
dysfunction, and decreased work productivity. Intervention strategies are discussed to
help managers provide support and intervention to employees coping with workplace
stress.
