    Chapter 7 Questions
    1. Major stressors for me that affect my performance at work include…

    The quantity of work that must be completed as well as the rate at


    which workers must execute their tasks is serious pressures in my
    life that have an influence on my job performance. Career worries
    include concerns about work stability, fear of job obsolescence,
    under- and over-promotion, and, more broadly, issues regarding
    professional progress. Physiological and social circadian rhythms are
    disturbed when people work rotating shifts or permanent night
    shifts. Poor interpersonal relationships are commonly mentioned as
    a source of stress at work. Poor interpersonal relationships can vary
    from harsh treatment to more serious incidents like bullying or
    violence. Jobs that are excessively repetitious, do not use a range of
    my talents, or do not provide me with a measure of control over how
    and when they complete their tasks, can be a source of stress.
    [ CITATION EKE211 \l 1033 ]

    2. I use the following intervention strategies to reduce my personal


    stress levels because….
    To lower my own stress levels, I employ the following intervention
    techniques, do not take on more work than I can’t handle. Make sure
    that I have enough free time, talk with my friends and coworkers
    and Make exercise a priority and use relaxing methods.
    These are very effective in decreasing my work-related stress and
    strain by minimizing or eliminating the real stressors. Individuals
    who are subjected to high amounts of stress for an extended period
    of time generate strain reactions that might be psychological,
    physical, behavioral, or organizational in nature. As a result, these
    types of strain reactions can have an impact on the company as well
    as people's lives. As an Employee my stress and strain should be
    reduced by removing causes of stress from the workplace and is
    helping me to concentrate more on m work and thereby improve my
    performance in job. Long-term stress prevention and management
    can reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure,
    and depression also.so it will help me to be satisfied with the
    environment that I am living with.

    possible penalties.

    about….

    E
    2. I believe/do not believe that a “respectful workplace” approach is
    better than a “no harassment” focused approach because….

    I believe that a respectful work approach is better than a no


    harassment focused approach.
    A workplace characterized by trust and the respectful treatment of
    employees at every level provides powerful support for job
    satisfaction, employee engagement. And most importantly stress-
    free environment. Stress responses can be psychological, physical,
    behavioral, or organizational in character when people are exposed
    to high levels of stress over a lengthy period. As a result, these sorts
    of strain reactions can have a negative influence on both the
    organization and the lives of its employees. As an employee, I
    believe that stress and strain should be decreased by eliminating
    stressors from the workplace. harassment in workplace is also a
    reason for stress and the employee will not be fully engaged.
    engaged employees are those most likely to contribute the
    discretionary effort needed to drive high performance at both the
    individual and organizational levels.
    Also From an organizational standpoint, the Respect in the
    Workplace program is a low-cost intervention that does not demand
    a lot of resources (e.g., time, money, planning and development).

    several advantages to enrolling in the program. In comparison to a
    control group Participants in the Respect in the Workplace program
    reported a modest improvement in workplace civility compared to
    those who did not get training.
    So, I believe in respectful work approach.
