Which of the following might be a source of stress for an employee who is very happy with her job with respect to the tasks she performs, what is expected from her, and how she is supervised?
A) task demands
B) role overload
C) interpersonal demands
D) organizational leadership
Answer: C
Explanation: Since the employee is happy with her work, it is unlikely that task demands or role overload could be causing stress, so those choices are incorrect. She is also happy with how she is supervised, so organizational leadership is not likely to be a source of stress. What could be causing the employee problems are interpersonal demands–conflicts she has with fellow workers–making that the correct response.
