Work is the core part of human life. Occupational stress occurs when there is a mismatch between the demands of the job and the resources and capabilities of the individual worker to meet those demands. It challenges their ability to cope with work. This includes not only situations where the pressures of work exceed the worker?s ability to cope but also where the worker?s knowledge and abilities. The issue of occupational stress closely related to the impact of advanced technology in the workplace, is making new demands on workers for creative strategies. The problems last far longer than the time spend at work and are not easily left behind at the end of the day. This paper has focused on major stressors and their remedial measures.
