Answer to Question 1

For humans, various physical and psychological changes are observed with the repetitive stimuli of stress. Until the limit is reached, the harmful effects can be reversed. With an increase in intensity or duration of the stress beyond the individual's limit, the effects on the human become pathological.

Answer to Question 2

Human reactions to workplace stress may be grouped into the following categories: subjective or emotional (anxiety, aggression, guilt); behavioral (being prone to accidents, trembling); cognitive (inability to concentrate or make decisions); physiological (increased heart rate and blood pressure); and organizational (absenteeism and poor productivity). Continual or persistent stress has been linked to many physiological problems.
