Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

 Stress in this context has been defined as a psychophysical response to various stimuli. Sources of stress have been the subject of research for several decades, and in the early 1980s work-related stressor sources were compiled by a number of researchers.
 Most sources of stress uncovered in the 1970s and 1980s would probably be found in today's work climate, with the exception of workplace structure, which reflected a predominately different set of conditions than we currently find.
 Specific job features can pose a threat to the worker. What is being suggested here is that stress involves interactions of work conditions with worker traits that change normal psychological and/or physiological functions.
 Major job stressors, however, are contributing factors to serious consequences for the worker such as overload, role ambiguity, technostress, under- and overpromotion, spillover, and electronic performance monitoring.
