From the Paper:
"The biggest factor that is affecting many employees is: the overall amount of stress that is related to work. This stress could be external or it could come from within the organization itself. In many cases, this is often discounted by many organizations, with it being associated as the individual not being suited for particular occupations. However, when look a little deeper, it is clear that stress encompasses almost every facet of the work place. An example of the overall extent that it has on employees can be seen in a study, which found that work related stress takes 10% each year of GDP growth. (Sullivan, 1992) What is so troubling about this statistic is: this is it is often overlooked, as many employees will have ways of hiding their stress through absenteeism, a lack of interest in their job and health problems. The way that stress can impact an organization is through the overall attitude that is projected at a work environment. Where, those places that are known to have high amounts of stress have often been shown to have the highest amounts of employee turnover. The reason why this is occurring; is stress is similar to a cancer, in that it can slowly eat away at the best of intentions. If there are no mechanisms to deal with the different amounts of stress or the compensation does not meet such levels..."Sample of Sources Used:
