Sources of Stress at ABC Engines

This activity is important because there are different types of stressors, and many different factors that can affect stress levels. As a manger, you need to know about the sources and causes of stress, so that you can best manage stressed$-$out employees at work $($based on recommendations featured in this chapter$).$

The goal of this activity is to demonstrate your understanding of the different types of stress, and the different factors that can cause each type of stress. Specifically, this activity tests whether you can identify the different types of stress, based on statements overheard from employees in the cafeteria at ABC Engines.
