    Sources of work stress can come from various demands, roles, changes, relationships, support, control, and values/culture within an organization: 1) Demands from work may be unachievable, skills may not match demands, or demands may be too high or low. 2) Roles and responsibilities may be unclear, conflicting, or inflexible. 3) Organizational changes can cause stress if their impact is unknown or training/support is lacking. Job security may also be uncertain. 4) Relationships can be stressful if conflict is not prevented or unacceptable behavior like bullying occurs.
