This paper examines the aetiological factors of stress in the workplace, considering the consequential psychological and physiological affects of this. The paper begins by defining stress in the workplace, followed by an evaluation of stress as a stimulus examining the demand-control model. Stress as a transaction is also analysed, looking at the effort-reward imbalance model. Other models like the person-environment fit model are examined, and the paper identifies certain workplace stress interventions. The paper concludes by suggesting strategies that will minimise the occurrence of stress overall.
