Occupational stress is psychological stress related to one’s job. Occupational stress often stems from pressures that do not align with a person’s knowledge, skills, or expectations.  Job stress can increase when workers do not feel supported by supervisors or colleagues, feel as if they have little control over work processes, or find that their efforts on the job are incomensurate with the job’s rewards. Occupational stress is a concern for both employees and employers due to the link between stressful job conditions and employee emotional well-being, physical health, and job performance.
