Work place pressure is growing day by day, people face changing economic and business situations, changing customer expectations and changing expectations from their own role and position in the organisation. Job stress is negatively related to performance. In other words, higher the stress, lower the performance. Work stress derives from many sources. It can be a demanding boss, annoying co-workers, rebellious students, angry customers, hazardous conditions, long commutes and a never-ending workload.

How we handle the effects of stress depends on whether it is easier to change the situation or change your attitude toward it.
