How Do You Deal With Work Increased Pressure?
_Work Pressure results from the large number of tasks that must be performed in a short period of time and these tasks are sometimes many and urgent.
_Many studies have shown that this pressure may have a harmful effect on the individual health, when this individual is under pressure at work,she/he will become less productive and more likely to make mistakes.
_Today, the work environment has become very stressful and demanding ,this situation leads many employees to feel anxious and stressed most of the time as a result of having to do a daily list of tasks which seems to be endle .
_As for the positive side of work pressure if it was reasonable,it would change into “mental motivation”, to perform the tasks quickly and effectively like: preparing an important report or inventing new methods to perform many tasks at a specific time,this is what The Canadian psychologist called “Enthusiastic Pressure”. Thus, it becomes a required and essential skill for every person who wants to succeed and excel in her/his field, in spite of all difficulties and challenges that may face her/him.
But, this doesn’t mean that you lose your self-confidence or abilities because the reason for this pressure may be the change in the work environment or increased requirements which makes you need more resources and support.
