Stress In Women: Coping With Job Stress And Household Duties!
By Ashish Jain
Two women are close friends. One has the job; the other is the homemaker. The former complains about the job stress. The later has the stress that her friend has the job and she does not have a job! The first type is the job stress and the other type is job-related stress.
A woman is affected physically as well as emotionally in every type of job. For, mostly it is the case of dual responsibility of office job and household responsibilities for her.
Even if she engages domestic aids and attendants, there is no complete escape from the household responsibilities for her. A woman is always more attached to her house emotionally. Therefore the level of stress will be more if the hours of work are irregular and unpredictable. Shift duties also add to the woes of woman. If she is a part-time worker she would always compare herself with full time colleagues and their emoluments. Such petty jealousies also add to their stress.
The greatest factor that adds to stress in woman in relation to her job is the unresponsive management and its lack of support to her normal expectations as an employee. In all work places the full time workers are more respected. The facilities given to them are more and this creates a division and friction amongst the various workers.
There is nothing to boost their morale they feel. An undercurrent of unhappiness always flows within them. This affects their performance and they develop a feeling within themselves, “why should I work more than this?” Work is not worship to them; they just carry on for the sake of carrying on.
Women are more sensitive as compared to men. A particular stress thus affects them more than the men. To a given situation, both will react in a different manner. The pivotal point of men
Job stress?
I seriously have trouble working. Each day as i step into the office, my boss would just be dissatisfied with my work. I’m aware that i have not put in enough effort to work on my job, i seriously have thought of quitting but I can’t because i’ve previously changed a few departments and i cant work long. I feel so depressed now, im not happy and i cry almost everyday because of the stress and i don’t know how to cope with my problems. My boss keeps telling me to find ways doing my job well, i just dunno how and it really stresses me up because my performance is simply just ‘bad’. I consider seeking psychiatric help, i want to be happy. Can anyone pls help me? How do work and cope with daily work? How does common sense apply to my situation?
What would you do if your job stress you out everyday?
I have a job that stress me out everyday. Sometimes I go home crying or at work. I like my job, but it is beginning to be overwhelming to me. I have headaches all the time. I asked my manager could I step down and he said I could not do that. I even told him I would take a decrease in pay and he told me there is not any openings available. I am looking for another job, should I tell him I am looking for another job or when I get a job just put in my 2 weeks noticed.
Beyond doing relaxation techniques, you should take some time to evaluate the future. Is this a job you can see yourself in for the next 20 years (my guess is ‘no’). If not, why aren’t you elsewhere. My guess (and I could be wrong) is that you are either unsure of what you want to do or you don’t feel like you have the qualifications to do whatever it is that you want to do.
Find something outside of work that you can go to in your mind when your job is driving you crazy. It could be a hobby, but the most effective thing is if you are working toward your future outside of work… taking a class, learning a skill (even if it is a hobby – like woodworking or home remodelling – like the classes that they do at home depot). If you know you won’t be there forever, it won’t seem so unbearable. If you know that you are qualified enough that finding a new job will be a snap, you won’t have any problem being assertive (being aggressive, sarcastic, or mean will never get you ahead, so you might want to start with an Interpersonal Communications course at your local community college, tech school, or university – even if you ‘klep’ it – meaning take it for no grade).
You might also find that going to church on the weekend helps – not only socially, but to be around people who know that there is something more important than the day to day garbage that we all have to deal with (hmmm. maybe I should take my own advice).
Finally, having outside interests and skills will definitely help on that lovely day when you decide that you just can’t take it anymore and turn in your two weeks notice. Maybe you’ll even be doing it to run your own business. Wouldn’t that be awesome!
Suppose you’re studying levels of job stress and measures of job efficiency?
Suppose you’re studying levels of job stress and measures of job efficiency in a nursing
home. Which one of the following statements best represents a data comparison that
demonstrates a positive correlation?
A. As job efficiency increases, stress levels decline.
B. As stress levels increase, job efficiency increases.
C. As job efficiency decreases, stress levels increase.
D. As stress levels increase, job efficiency declines.
I think it is A because job efficiency is a positive thing while stress levels are negative. I am confused though about the difference between A and C. They are saying almost the same thing. All help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
get a job asap, being stressed out to this degree can lead to many health issues down the road. being unhappy is a bigger deal then people would think.
If you keep messing up, you should quit, becuase if you don’t they will fire you.
Another issue is.. if you have personal issues, you need to deal with them and leave them at the door before you go into work. Find yourself a job you can do. Your job doesn’t bring you “Happiness” You need to be happy and satisfied with the job you do.
job stress?
how do you cope with job stress? i am in counseling right now for depression and i also just have lots of mood swings and racing thoughts. (i’m not looking for a diagnosis…just letting you know where things stand)
my boss fired my friend today, for no real reason except she said it was too hard to schedule him anymore. i think this is unreasonable and it makes me mad.
how do i go into work tomorrow and stay calm? stuff like this is very hard for me, it makes my relationships suffer. it’s a family business and i don’t want to speak to anyone who runs it right now. but they will ask me why i’m not talking and i don’t want to get real mad, because i could get fired.
jacko… my web browser won’t open that page… do you have a different link i could try?
I understand why you see A and C as being close to the same. It would depend where you want to put the focus on more: job stress or job efficiency. If they are specifically looking at stress, then I believe C would be the answer. It depends on which area the study found more information in. But if I were answering this question without any other information, I would go with C. (I worked in a nursing home and stress can be very high in those jobs.)
Can on the job stress make a health problem worse?
I have a health problem with my urinary track. I have noticed on weekends, holidays and vacations that my condition improves. Could stress from my job make my health problem worse?
Absolutely. Job stress counts for a lot of health problems.
