From the Paper:

"Stress is defined both in terms of its physical and psychological dimensions and involves an increasing sense of the loss of control over the environment, producing fear and uncertainty. Stress is a problem in the workplace and is often spoken of in terms of stress in the workplace because work related stress contributes to a variety of problems both for the individual experiencing stress and for the organization for which he or she works. The problems can range from reduced performance to open violence. Stress is experienced by both men and women. Men are seen as having greater stress than women because men have long experienced stress in the workplace, but as more and more women enter the workplace as well, they are also subject to the same levels of stress. Certain life experiences are stressful in varying degrees, and incoming college students experiences stress for a variety of reasons, including work load demands, culture shock, added responsibilities, living away from home for the first time, and so on."
