Introduction

The work-related stress is a phenomenon that not only grows but also affects all sectors and all occupational categories. The effects it produces on health and the ability to work of individuals (workers, managers) and so therefore on firm performance, have led to regard it as the "new" evil affecting business organization. However, stress is still a taboo subject for many, not blameless. It is important to demystify the "evil" and to educate people about the dangers it can present if not taken seriously. 

Tasty Farm is a company that is known for healthy agricultural products. The workers working in the shipping and packaging department need to work excessive hours to fulfill the demands of the customers, therefore, considering their work stress in terms of salary and other benefits is on the minimum side.

Another major stressor is the time. Indeed, more and more time to meet short, an adjustment period between two changes to also be as short as possible in order to face such competition, as many events that maintain the worker in the confined emergency and therefore ultimately can have adverse effects on its ability to adapt and therefore its effectiveness at work.
