In any type of job, whether it is an office-based, field-based job or even home-based, every employee experiences occupational stress. One of the most experienced stresses in jobs is psychological stress such as occupational stress.
Occupational stress is usually from the pressures of one’s knowledge, alignment, skills or expectations on work. It further increases when employees do not feel supported by their colleagues or supervisors in their work, and feel that they do not have control over their work and its processes. They also think that the rewards or compensations that they are receiving are not measuring up to the workload they are receiving.
This kind of stress affects an employee greatly, since it hits their well-being, physical and mental health and their job performance. It has a domino effect for both employees and their employers, which may result in the company suffering badly in the end.
