Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Work stress can be caused by both factors in the work environment such as workload, difficult colleagues or managers, job dissatisfaction, lack of control, etc. and by nonwork factors such as family or financial problems, health issues, commute, etc. These external pressures can spill over into the workplace and affect an employee's ability to cope with work-related stressors. Therefore, work stress is caused by a combination of both work and nonwork factors.
