PROFESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS AS THE SOURCE OF PERCEIVEDSTRESS AMONG WORKERS IN THE BEJAIA PROVINCE

Abstract

     This study delves into the exploration of professional requirements and their relationship with stress among workers, highlighting aspects such as level of qualification, creativity, job monotony, recognition at work, decision latitude, and social and professional support. The results emphasize the significant influence of these factors on workers' stress perception. Excessive qualification, lack of recognition, monotonous workload, and limited autonomy are identified as potential sources of stress. In contrast, creativity, as well as social support from superiors and colleagues, are associated with reduced occupational stress. These findings provide valuable insights to guide workplace stress management strategies, underscoring the importance of recognizing and promoting working conditions conducive to creativity and social support.
