Another important factor that leads to stress is value conflicts. That’s when employees conclude that their organization is working contrary to their personal or professional values. That means that working effectively for the company makes the world a worse place rather than a better place. At least from the employees’ perspective.

A lot of trouble employees have with change is that they see cost cutting or restructuring as weakening the company’s genuine contribution to its customers or the larger community.

That’s a stressful experience when you really care about your work.
