Many people respond to pressure they face in their lives by feeling stressed. In the workplace context, such a response may develop when people are subjected to demands and expectations that are out of keeping with their needs, abilities, skills and coping strategies.
If stress is intense and goes on for some time, it can lead to mental and physical ill health. The form of injury generally associated with work-related stress is called psychological injury.
