Occupational stress rudimentary mental coping strategies may be adopted in the work environment. Occupational stress Occupational stress is stress related to one's job. Occupational stress often stems from unexpected responsibilities and pressures that do not align with a person's knowledge, skills, or expectations, inhibiting one's ability to cope. Occupational stress can increase when workers do not feel supported by supervisors or colleagues, or feel as if they have little control over work processes. Because stress results from the complex interactions between a large system of interrelated variables, there are several psychological theories and models that address occupational stress. Person-environment fit model: This
Plant strategies stress (Grime’s C-S axis). The L-H-S strategy avoids the assumption that high disturbance, high stress environments lack viable plant strategies, unlike Grime's model. However, Westoby's model is at a disadvantage when predicting potential variation in plant strategies since the axes only include single variables, compared to Grime's multivariable axes. This linear model, first introduced by MacArthur and Wilson (1967), has been commonly applied to both plants and animals to describe reproductive strategies. Representing opposing extremes of a continuum, r-species commit all energy into maximizing seed production with minimal input to individual propagules, whereas K-species allocate energy into a few, highly
