Also, a job that is disproportionate to one's talents and abilities and the resulting stress can cause problems and dissatisfaction and job stress. As a result, it reduces a person's overall satisfaction with life. Today, the importance and crucial role of work in various aspects of human life is obvious.

Work stress and mental health in a changing society
The European Journal of Public Health, 2008
Background: The aim of this representative study in the Hungarian population was to analyse the association between work-related factors and self-reported mental and physical health after controlling for negative affect and hostility as personality traits. Methods: The effects of job related factors on Beck Depression Score, WHO well-being score and self-rated health (SRH) were analysed in a representative sample of 3153 male and 2710 female economically active Hungarians. Results: In both genders negative affect was the most important correlate of depression, well-being and SRH, whereas hostility was closely associated only with depression. Job insecurity, low control and low social support at work, weekend work hours, job-related life events and dissatisfaction with work and with boss were independent mental health risk factors, but there were important gender differences. Job related factors seem to be equally important predictors of mental health as social support from family. Conclusion: The results of this large national representative study indicate that independent of negative affect and hostility, a cluster of stressful work-related psychosocial conditions accounts for a substantial part of variation in self-reported mental and physical health of the economically active population in Hungary.

International journal of academic research in business & social sciences, 2023
Job stress is a growing concern in today's workplaces and has been linked to negative mental and physical health outcomes. In this systematic literature review, we aim to examine recent research on the impact of job stress on mental and physical health outcomes. Findings from literature analysis indicate that job stress is consistently associated with negative mental health outcomes such as depression, anxiety, and burnout. Furthermore, job stress is associated with various physical health outcomes, such as cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and gastrointestinal disorders. From there, we developed the hypotheses for the study. This study could utilize a cross-sectional or longitudinal research design, depending on the research objectives and data availability later. Data collection could involve a combination of questionnaires, physiological measures, and biomarkers to collect data on job stress and mental and physical health outcomes. Various statistical techniques could be used to explore the relationships between job stress, mental and physical health outcomes, and potential moderating and mediating variables. Overall, the findings of this research can provide valuable insights into the harmful impact of job stress on mental and physical health and can inform the development of interventions and policies to promote employee well-being and reduce the negative effects of job stress.
