- The WHO (World Health Organization) states "Work Stress is recognized world wide as a major challenge to worker's health and the healthiness of organisations".
- Research findings suggest that the most stressful type of work is that which values excessive demands and pressures that are not matched to workers' knowledge and abilities, where there is little opportunity to exercise any choice or control, and where there is little support from others.
