Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Feeling trapped, or experiencing low job control, has been linked to negative health outcomes, including increased stress, depression, and cardiovascular disease. This factor may be particularly relevant for an individual who has worked in the same position for a lengthy period of time. The other options (speed of work, attention to detail, and daily demands from the boss) may also pose challenges, but they are not as strongly linked to negative health outcomes as feeling trapped.
