RESEARCH PROJECT 8: WORK-RELATED STRESS
Research Area: Gender-based violence (GBV)
Project Title: Work-related Stress within the working from home context
Number of Students: Limited to 70 students
Project description
• Work stress can be experienced in all sectors.
• For instance, work stress is common in the banking sector, in the healthcare sector and in
the educational sector
• Work stress has negative effects on individuals’ physical (e.g., high blood pressure and
stroke) and mental health (e.g., substance abuse and anxiety)
• Work stress negatively affects not only individuals but also their families and organizations.
For instance, research has shown that employees’ experiences of work-related stress can
spill over to their family domain (Hu et al., 2021).
• Likewise, work stress decreases organizational performance and productivity (Delport,
2020).
• In South Africa, work-related stress costs South African companies a staggering R40 billion
annually.
• Psychological research on work and occupational stress focuses on the causes of work-
related stress and the psychological effects on individuals and organizations.
Depending on the work sectors, causes of work-related stress include:
• long working hours,
• job insecurity,
• effort-reward imbalances,
• high job demands,
• low job demands,
• bullying, and

• low support from colleagues and supervisors, which have been demonstrated to increase
mental and depressive disorders.
• The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the adoption of new life and work arrangements, such
as the widespread implementation of work-from-home practices.
• In sectors deemed as non-essential, numerous employees found themselves compelled by
their employers and organizations to transition to remote work.
• Nearly three years later, it is evident that its implementation has been significantly
reshaping the fundamental principles of the workplace.
• Employees across diverse domains are now articulating their preferences for a continued
work from-home approach.
• Working from home – for some, a blessing, and for others, a burden?
• Working from home not only facilitates equal participation for parents of small children in
the world of work but also extends this opportunity to adults responsible for depending on
parents.
• Beyond this, it allows employees to physically organize their work and living spaces
independently of their employer or organization, often referred to as new mobility.
• While these aspects of remote work appear to offer numerous advantages, it prompts
critical questions about potential trade-offs
• Do these blessings arrive unaccompanied by burden, and if not, what might be the
implications?
• Examining the possible trade-offs is essential, particularly in understanding their
connection to work-related stress.
SO, WHAT IS YOUR PROJECT ABOUT?
• This research project aims to delve into the psychological patterns characterizing the
experiences of work-related stress among employees working from home.
