 Karasek's (1979) high-demand, low control model is among the best-supported stress theories. Stress.
We all know what it is, right? Actually, we don’t. Is it anxiety? Is it frustration? Is it a set of physical symptoms? Or is it some combination of those things... and more? We really don’t know what most people mean when they say they are feeling “stressed,” and there’s no reason to believe that we are all using the term in the same way.  Nature, nurture, neither – or both? Your personality is unique, but where does it come from? Were you born with it? Or was it etched onto a blank slate by your experiences and your environment?

Organizational psychology is an applied science that studies the world of work. Believe it or not, “work” actually has its own science.
