In January CareerCast.com a portal Job Search, based in Carlsbad, Calif., Has 834 site visitors requested to the same question. The first four responses to the survey were:
  • Unpredictability (26 percent)
  • Work environment (21 percent)
  • Time (20 percent)
  • Safety of others (16 percent)
These results may wonder how Career Cast defined "unpredictability". It has to do with the employees routine. If an employee can not be installed in a model workplace - where she is responsible for the same performance on a regular basis - it is unpredictable. "Refers to have a working, which is not compatible, the requirements are constantly changing workflow," said Kyle Kensing, online content editor Career Cast.

"My Computer" has to do with the level of an employee's personal interaction with customers, clients, bosses or colleagues stress. If each call is a resource or assignment, the environment is distressing.

The study followed more full-time employees Career Cast, divided equally men and women in three age groups (about Millennials in the group of 19 till 35 years of Generation X in the group of 36-50-boomers age and the group 51 to 70 years old ).

As for the industry, representing academics just another sign of the 16 percent of respondents. Health professionals accounted for 16 percent of the nose, and those who order in professional / business 15 percent. These levels of participation in the results had not little effect, Kensing said. For example, 40 percent of people in the academic world rated "unpredictability" most stressors that make "unpredictability" the most common response has come a long way.

ensure the safety of others in a similar way, it is the most stressful for health professionals (50 percent) - a major cause, "the safety of others" came in third place Professional / Company. Service personnel can evaluate the most stressful part of their job (31 percent), helps explain what, why. At the time in the room

Respondents were asked to choose - and only one - of the eight options above. If you wonder how to Career Cast arrived with eight options, it is because they have a lot of experience in conducting surveys on stress at work is. Since 2009, Career Cast publishes reports each year of review of the work more stressful and employment rate less stress .

The survey in January to provide has been developed, "an overview of the impressions of their own fields, the reader," Kensing said. "We have a lot of discussion from readers after receiving the report more stressful job sharing, leaving this survey people about their own experiences."
