Analysis of Stress Factors at Workplace

Fawad Kaiser.




Abstract

Stress perception is highly subjective, and so the complexity of medical
practice may result in variation between doctors in their identification of
sources of stress, especially when the workplace and roles of doctors are
changing. Seven studies show that medical profession is, by its very nature,
a profession exposed to a high degree of stress.1 Analysis shows that
stressful situations, in the psychological occupational environment are the
greatest stress factors regardless of the workplace.2 Married professionals
have significantly high stress as compared to unmarried ones and the values
are statistically significantly lower in people under the thirty years of age
and with less than ten years of work experience.3 Moreover, workload is a
potential stress factor from the physical environment and doctors working in
settings without support from their superiors and engaged in inter
professional conflicts face a greater problem at workplace. The mental
health of managers and employees within working environment is a
neglected sector in occupational health research and practice, despite the fact
that this area is the most common work setting in most places. Reviewing
the social and psychological factors of occupational stress indicate that
working in time deficit, inadequate workers involvement into work process
management, less career prospects, low possibility to improve work process,
controversies in occupational tasks and roles were proved to be the most
important occupational stress factors.4

Key words: Stress, workplace, conflicts, occupational, superiors.
