Workers who are stressed are also more likely to be unhealthy, poorly motivated, less pro-ductive and less safe at work.
What causes work stress?
Poor work organisation, that is the way we design jobs and work
systems, and the way we manage them, can cause work stress.
Excessive and otherwise unmanageable demands and pressures can be
caused by poor work design, poor management and unsatisfactory working
conditions. Similarly, these things can result in workers not receiving
sufficient support from others or not having enough control over their work
and its pressures.
The effects of stress
Stress affects different
people in different ways.
- Become increasingly distressed and irritable.
- Become unable to relax or concentrate.
- Have difficulty thinking logically and making decisions.
- Enjoy their work less and feel less committed to it.
- Feel tired, depressed, anxious.
- Have difficulty sleeping.
- Experience serious physical problems, such as: heart disease, disorders of the digestive system and musculo-skeletal disorders, such as upper limb disorder.
Solving work stress problems
The best strategies for work redesign focus on demands, knowledge
and abilities, support and control and include:
- Changing the demands of work (e.g. by changing the way the job is done or the working environment, sharing the workload differently).
- Ensure that employees have or develop the appropriate knowledge and abilities to perform their jobs effectively (e.g. by selecting and training them properly and by reviewing their progress regularly).
- Improve employees’ control over the way they do their work (e.g. introduce flexi-time, job-sharing, more consultation about working practices).
- Increase the amount and quality of support they receive (e.g. introduce ‘people management’ training schemes for supervisors, allow interaction among employees, encourage co-operation and teamwork).
