Am I Experiencing Psychosocial Stress At Work?

The modern workplace can be both stimulating and stressful. While occasional stress is normal, prolonged exposure to negative workplace conditions can affect your mental and emotional well-being. Psychosocial stress refers to the emotional strain experienced when work-related demands exceed your coping abilities or clash with your personal values, needs, or expectations. Factors such as excessive workload, lack of control, poor communication, unsupportive leadership, job insecurity, and difficult relationships with colleagues can contribute to this type of stress. Over time, unaddressed psychosocial stress can lead to burnout, anxiety, reduced productivity, and even physical health problems. This self-assessment is designed to help you reflect on how various psychosocial factors in your work environment might be impacting your well-being. It is not a diagnostic tool but a self-awareness resource that encourages early recognition and action. Answer each statement honestly, based on your experience over the past few weeks, to gain insight into your current state.
