Behavior may become impulsive and restless, while mood swings may lead to apathy, fatigue and low self-esteem. However, the complete elimination of excessive stress is practically impossible, given that in addition to the factors that create it, a fundamental determinant is the particular characteristics of the individual.

The natural reaction towards various situations in life contributes to stress. Excessive stress can result in heart diseases, stroke, heart attacks, nervous breakdown, hypertension, asthma and other psychosomatic disorders as outlined in Reference [3]. Stress may also result in mood swings, anxiety, depression or anger. We experience a variety of emotions in our daily life of which the negative emotions tend to impact our lifestyles by adversely affecting our attention and productivity levels. Such adverse effects may also lead to impulsive behavior which may result in wrong decisions causing adverse and irreversible consequences to the family or at times even a larger community.

The inability to meet job requirements, control the work, lack of work and support information, relationship and personal issues, fear of being fired, additional overtime without pay, work pressure, and lack of work and procedure understanding can lead to stress if these are not managed properly. Stress can lead workers to have mood swings leading to their being withdrawn, losing confidence, commitment, and motivation, and displaying increased emotional reactions –being more tearful, sensitive, aggressive, angry, and irritable. All of this affects the worker and causes loss of interest, lack of sleep, fatigue, muscle tension, headaches, or stomach problems, as well as lack of concentration (Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety 2017).
