Overview
Stress is described as the non-specific response of the body to persistent and uncertain demands for change. (Selye, 1936). Stress at the workplace is the adverse reactions of physical and mental forms that could occur when there is a conflict between job needs and the degree of control that staff is given to meet these requirements (Canadian Mental Health Association 206). Workplace stress has been demonstrated to have a harmful influence on the health and wellbeing of workers, as well as negative effects on productivity and profits (Bickford 2005). For this reason, as well as workplace mobbing, bullying, the transnational competition to streamline operations, and the outbreak of coronavirus all over the world, stress at the workplace is a cosmopolitan or multicultural issue which is becoming a big concern in the current state of the economy.
