Control

Control is:

• How much say you have in the way you do your work

Situation that may lead to stress

You are sometimes disengaged and perform poorly because you feel you have no say over how and when you do your work.

What can be done to reduce stress

Detailed thought and discussion should be had by you, your line manager and your colleagues, about how you and your team carry out the work tasks. You should also discuss your involvement in decision making, your contribution as an individual and as part of your team.

The ideal situation 

You are able to have a say about the way you do your work and, if you feel you do not, then systems are in place to respond to your concerns.
