Global competition for market share and creation places ever more demands on employees to do things more innovatively, effectively, and efficiently. Even though the stress of everyday workplace demands can be a factor that pushes employees into action, too high levels of stress could have a costly negative effect on work engagement, performance, and physical health. The Sources of Work Stress Inventory (SWSI) can be used by professionals within the context of a comprehensive organisational evaluation, or as part of a structured employee wellness programme, to determine general levels of occupational stress and identify possible key sources of stress that need to be addressed.
