Workers get frustrated if they are not given control over the responsibilities that are entrusted to them. This means, they cannot exercise what they want to do on a given project. Discouraging work practices such as the lack of a clear job description, no recognition or reward of a good performance and the absence of opportunities to use personal talents add a lot to job stress. Dissatisfaction and anxiety also occurs when workers are not given an opportunity to air out their problems and concerns. The frustration of keeping these problems and concerns concealed will strain their stress coping mechanism.Job stress can also be caused by harassment or bullying. Some fellow employees may tease, insult or even threaten others due to their sex, religion or race. Some insensitive employees may even spread malicious gossip in order to destroy another’s good name. Abusive bosses may harass employees to show them his superiority.
