Does Stress Increase Job Satisfaction?
New research published last week "defies the myth" that all stress is bad for us and claims that it increases our job satisfaction. The survey results show that 77% of people confirmed this claim, with only 7% reporting signs of slowing down when stressed. The research - commissioned by pain relief company Anadin - surveyed over 3,000 people and concludes that ...

Does Stress Increase Job Satisfaction?
Has anyone seen the Assessment on Stress, in which the HSE have asked companies to try out? Cannot find it on their web site now, so cannot give you the address. I did however; down load the information and formats. So if you have not seen the programme, I could e-mail it to you. It was set out in Word and Excel. After looking at the prog...

Does Stress Increase Job Satisfaction?
I think there is a difference in the kind of 'Going the extra mile to meet the deadline adrenalin rush' pressure and the kind of stress that makes people sick. Often the latter can lead to ulcers, mental illness and possibly high blood pressure and heart attacks. Nothing good about those.

Does Stress Increase Job Satisfaction?
If stress is good for you, then why is stress the Number One cause of sickness absence in the UK? Many people who promote the mantra that "stress is good for you" have not appreciated that there are two types of stress: positive (eustress) and negative (distress). Positive stress results when everyone is ...

Does Stress Increase Job Satisfaction?
What is meant when we use the word "stress"? I don't follow the distinction between 'stress' and 'pressure' as described, and stress management courses I have been on did not make that distinction either. I have always understood 'stress' (or whatever you want to call it) can be good stress or bad stress: the good stress is motivating and...

Does Stress Increase Job Satisfaction?
I have found in my work as an architect that some pressure is needed to get my mind working, that increased pressure up to a certain point speeds up my thinking and design ability. Only when the pressure is demanding impossibly quick results does it have a negative effect. This then results in shaking hands, lack of sleep, less good work and digestive problems. The line between positive pressure and stress must vary with every person so it is very difficult to define it.

Does Stress Increase Job Satisfaction?
Stress or pressure, whatever term you use gets the adrenalin going, makes you stay crystal clear and smart like mozart music. However, the problem is the insomnia, stomache, headache, poor appetite etc. as a result of overstress or excessive pressure.

If you feel similarly aggrevieved by this misrepresentation of both pressure & stress please look at the Anadin website http://www.anadin.co.uk & send them a message. They also have a 'Relativity Test' to determine your 'stress' level but once again the questions mix pressure with stress; two different situations which warrant different answers to some of the questions.

Does Stress Increase Job Satisfaction?
...ng ample time to remain focused, and with skills and abilities, following clear directions or instructions can be stimulating activity in the workplace and should be commonplace. We each relate to exerted pressure differently, and it is when one crosses the line from acceptable to overwhelming that stress becomes a factor. It is debilitating and dangerous and stress often results from unresolved or unmanaged conflict relating to work issues. Supervisors and managers are not sufficiently trained in communication and listening skills to identify when an employee is experiencing discomfort or expressin...

Does Stress Increase Job Satisfaction?
I agree fully with Ian Reed. I fail to see how stress can be a positive factor. Pressure however, provided it is not excessive and too frequent can improve "performance" in the workplace, but not "satisfaction" as quoted in the article in my opinion. No matter how tough mentally we think we might be, everyone has a limit. Too much pressure will always...

Once again the lack of definition of 'stress' allows the media to misrepresent the issue. This article highlights the fact that even supposedly professional organisations misunderstand what is meant by stress.

...aft management standards ... are founded on science. They contain subjective score levels that are far higher than most employee satisfaction results on any employment issue. I would like to know if, as an organisation, the HSE would pass these standards.' Janet Asherson, Head of H&S, CBI `Not only does the health and safety approach to back injuries not prevent chronic back pain, but it may make matters worse by encouraging people to "catastrophise" when they hurt their backs. If this process leads to more extreme illness behaviour in back pain, it is likely to have the same effect for stress.' S...

The history of flexible working – and what the future holds
...hose who work permanently in the office often feel that flexible workers simply do less, because they are not being watched, while in-house staff take up the slack. In truth there are people who abuse the system just as the same people probably don't pull their weight in the office. Time can and does get lost in the office to gossip, long lunches, fantasy football leagues, online grocery shopping and Facebook, just as it can anywhere else. Flexible working didn't create this problem and management need to make it clear that shirking (to use an appropriate but old fashioned word) isn't part of t...
