Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shreya's work and family demands are likely leading to role overload, which is the feeling that there are not enough hours in the day to adequately fulfill all responsibilities. This can cause significant stress and anxiety. Role ambiguity (unclear expectations), inadequate compensation, inadequate childcare arrangements, and excessive competitive drive could also contribute to stress, but they are not as likely to be the primary cause in this scenario.
