Pressure Triggers
Everyone reacts differently to pressure. And everyone's pressure trigger is different. There are four work-related factors that can trigger pressure: time pressure, work overload, relationship strain, and a necessity of balancing competing interests. Feeling under time pressure is usually a result of tight deadlines imposed by demanding schedules, and feeling underprepared for tasks.
Time Pressure
The pressure to meet deadlines can be very intense. This is particularly true in situations where other people or functions are depending on the work being completed on time. If a person is given an important task, pressure may be triggered by the feeling of not being prepared because there isn't enough time.
Amber, for example, is an editorial assistant with a publishing company. She has been asked to proofread a new book before it is sent to the Design Department and the Printing Department. Amber feels pressure because she has a tight deadline and because of the difficulty of the task. She feels that she doesn't have enough time to prepare and won't be able to complete the task on time. She doesn't want to cause delays for the other departments.
Work Overload
Work overload is the second main trigger of job pressure. A person faced with a lot of work to do will naturally feel under some pressure. There are two different kinds of work overload: quantitative and qualitative.
Quantitative
A quantitative workload occurs when there's a large quantity of work to do. Jane, for example, works for a company that provides construction materials. At the end of the month, she has to process the invoices for every order. Because there are hundreds of invoices, Jane feels under severe pressure.
Qualitative
A qualitative workload involves work that requires close attention to detail and is time consuming. It differs from a quantitative workload because the emphasis isn't on the scale of the work. The quality of the work is what's important. For example, Kelly is a laboratory technician. Her job is to run a series of tests on samples of drinking water from local reservoirs to determine their purity. This task is very time consuming and intricate. And there's no margin for error. Kelly experiences pressure because of this qualitative work overload.
Relationship Pressure
The third triggering factor is relationship pressure. Working relationships are very important but can be complicated. (...)
