Occupational Stress in Organizations
Article 1:
As determined by Ongori and Topper (2007), stress remains an element that has the
capacity to affect the performances of employees within an organization, a factor that would
negatively impact the productivity and employee turnover rates including organizational
performance within a firm. Considering the outcomes of the study conducted by the authors,
occupational stress remains one of the great distresses of management, employees including
other stakeholders within an organization.
The study in this case aggress to the fact that the cost of occupational stress is higher in
many entities, with this costing companies huge amounts of money since this stressor may lead
to the morbidity and mortality of employees in a firm. Tabassum (2013) views, therefore,
concurs with the findings of this study and determines that work overloads without taking into
consideration the availability of human capital to carry out the duties may result in occupational
stress. In this case, increases in workloads within organizations that fail to correspond to the
available workforce are the causative factor of occupational stress.

sample and a couple of organizations that provided data, the responses offered by the participants
prove that some occupational stresses result from uncertainties of promotions, a factor that
Newton, & Teo (2014) concurs with since employees who work hard anticipate rewards from
organizations. However when these rewards take are undetermined, the employees are more
likely to get stressed, a factor that would diminish their productivity.
