to be a form of pressure from the surrounding environment that led to the straining effects within
a particular individual. The widely accepted definitions in this current world are one of some
known forms of interaction that takes place between the situation and a particular individual. On
the other hand, it is the psychological together with the physical state that normally comes on

Impacts of stress at work
Aforementioned, stress is known to cause a lot of impacts within a workplace thus
affecting the lives of various individuals in a negative way. the following are some of the
impacts that are associated with stress within any given workplace;
Poor time management- The positive outcome attached to stress is that it has the capability of
jumpstarting the adrenalin of a given personality thereby motivating him or her to carry out
different tasks within the shortest time possible in relation to the impending deadlines that are yet
to be attained (Yu et al. 2015). On the other hand, any situation that involves an overwhelming
condition of workload, lack of appropriate and reliable support together with too many demands
that might occur at once are known to be capable of contributing various frustrating conditions
and panicking among the workers who are assigned different tasks within a particular working
environment, this normally comes as a result of insufficient time to complete the provided work

given time frame in an appropriate manner will always lead to the fueling of employees'
resentment most so towards their respective companies and at the same time will be able to
negatively influence their respective commitments and loyalty in their daily lives and
experiences (DeFrank and Cooper 2008).

conditions of tension and anxieties that occur as a result of a stressful environment, there
is a high probability that the individual is likely to make quite a number of mistakes that
can affect both the individuals and the entire organization in a negative way.
