Job Stress What is job stress? Stress occurs when the demands of the job challenge your ability to perform. Symptoms of stress include feeling upset, anxious, dissatisfied, irritable, depressed, or unable to get the job done on time or satisfactorily. Sometimes stress is the result of problems with other people at work; at other times stress comes from a poor fit between you and the job or disappointment with the way your job is structured. If you feel you are not being recognized for your contribution or adequately rewarded, you may experience stress on the job. How can job stress be helped? Job stress can often be alleviated with good problem solving. First we must identify and fully understand the source of your job stress. Next we will generate some possible solutions or actions that could be taken to help. It may be necessary to focus on improving your communication, negotiation, assertiveness, time management, or organizational skills. We will evaluate how helpful each action is and plan and implement further action until your ability to respond to the demands of the job is improved. In some cases, it may be necessary to consider changing jobs.
