Occupational stress is a pattern of emotional, cognitive and behavioral psychological reactions to adverse and noxious aspects of work content, work organisation and work environment. Occupational stress is caused by a poor match between us and our work, by conflicts between our roles at work and outside it and not having a reasonable degree of control over our own work.

Simply put, occupational stress occurs when there is a conflict between workplace and a worker’s degree of control.

Uncontrolled stress can lead to strain. Strain is where your attitude becomes negative. You feel irritable, frustrated and cynical. Uncontrolled stress can lead to burn out. Burnout is a condition where you simply have no motivation to do anything and become susceptible to opportunist viruses such as flu. Should burnout not be addressed, the next stage is depression and anxiety.
