Job Strain
Job strain is a work-related condition that arises from chronic occupational stress. It is specifically defined by a combination of excessive job demands and a heavy workload, coupled with little to no control over decision-making or other aspects of the job. This combination of high demand and low autonomy is a significant contributor to negative health outcomes.
