Stress and burnout

Optimally designed work tasks should neither underchallenge nor overchallenge. A slight temporary overchallenge of individual requirements can promote personality. A well-designed work task is holistic, allows to use different senses and abilities, grants autonomy, offers the possibility to interact with other people as well as learning and development opportunities. Underchallenge, severe overchallenge, one-sided demands increase the risk of misuse and health impairments.

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work conducted a survey to determine opinions on work-related stress, the importance of occupational safety and health for economic competitiveness and active aging. For this purpose, 200 interviews were conducted in Liechtenstein. The results can be found at:
