Stress is the body's response to changes that require physical, mental, or emotional adjustment or reaction. For most individuals, sources of stress are often work-related stressors, making work one of the primary causes of stress in life. Workplace stress occurs when there is a mismatch between job demands and an individual's abilities, potential, and ambitions, particularly when psychological demands are high, while control or decision-making opportunities are limited. The main objective of this research was to gain a deeper understanding and to analyze the sources of stress in the work environment. Additionally, the study aimed to explore the potential negative effects of workplace stress exposure and the consequences of stress. The research was conducted through a survey questionnaire using the online tool Google Forms with a sample of 120 respondents of both sexes. The research results show that the majority of employees experience moderate levels of stress, influenced by a combination of multiple factors. Although most respondents believe they have sufficient time to complete their work tasks, a significant number still feel overwhelmed by their workload. Additionally, the results indicate that employees often lack sufficient opportunities to participate in business decision-making, and their opinions are not adequately considered by their superiors. The findings highlight the need for greater employee participation in decision-making processes, which could enhance their motivation and sense of value within the organization.
