From the Paper:

"Much research has been conducted on the effects of stress in the workplace, noting time lost to stress-related problems and illnesses that may develop from stress. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health defines job stress as "the harmful physical and emotional responses that occur when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker" (Minter, 1999). Researchers today attribute a wide range of health effects to stress, including increased risks of cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disorders, psychological disorders such as depression and burnout and gastrointestinal disorders and they also note evidence that stress contributes to the incidence of workplace injuries (Minter, 1999)."
