Work-related stress: what is it?
Work-related stress is a condition that occurs when a worker perceives an imbalance between the demands of the job and the personal or organizational resources available to him or her to deal with them. It is not simply a temporary pressure (which in many cases is a normal part of the job), but a prolonged situation in which work demands exceed the worker's ability to cope with them, generating physical, emotional and mental distress. There are several causes of work-related stress, for example:
- Excessive or unclear workloads. When work demands are too high or there is a lack of clear direction on priorities.
- Unrealistic deadlines. Constant pressures to meet overly tight deadlines.
- Poorly defined roles. Uncertainty about responsibilities and tasks to be performed.
- Interpersonal conflicts. Difficult relationships with colleagues or superiors, or perceived lack of support.
- Lack of control. Feeling of not having autonomy in one's work or not being able to influence decisions that affect him or her.
- Poor communication. Insufficient or inadequate information flows from the company.
- Organizational unfairness. Perceived unfair treatment, favoritism or unbalanced distribution of workload.
What are the indicators of stress?
Work-related stress can manifest as physical symptoms (chronic fatigue, headaches, insomnia, gastrointestinal disorders), psychological symptoms (anxiety, irritability, difficulty concentrating, demotivation) and social symptoms (isolation, conflicts with colleagues or family members). If unmanaged, it can lead to more serious problems such as burnout, depression, or physical illness.
Companies that do not address work-related stress risk decreased productivity, increased sick leave, high staff turnover, and reduced worker engagement and motivation.
The indicators of the INAIL method for assessing work-related stress
The INAIL method for assessing work-related stress is based on a structured analysis of objective and subjective indicators, articulated as follows:
1. Preliminary assessment in which three categories of indicators are analyzed:
- Business indicators: absenteeism rate, turnover, injuries, litigation, complaints.
- Work content factors: work loads and pace, clarity of roles, environmental conditions.
- Work context factors: leadership style, coworker relations, communication, contract stability.
If significant risks emerge, in-depth assessment is conducted, directly involving workers to explore perceived discomfort.
2. In-depth assessment (if needed) in which workers' perceptions are deepened through:
- Structured questionnaires: to detect perceived discomfort and stress.
- Focus groups: guided discussions to identify critical issues.
- Individual interviews: to analyze complex situations.
This step-by-step approach makes it possible to identify critical factors, set priorities for intervention and monitor organizational well-being over time.
