    Understanding Workplace Stress

    Uploaded by

    Jonard Pedrosa
    Stress is the body's response to excessive demands and can be caused by both external stressors in the workplace and personal life stressors. The general adaptation syndrome model describes how prolonged exposure to stressors can lead to exhaustion through stages of alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. While some stress from challenges like receiving a bonus can be positive and motivating, excessive pressure and unreasonable demands cause distress that negatively impacts individuals' health and organizations. Understanding the nature and causes of stress is important for managing it effectively.
