Workplace stress is an issue of growing interest in the field of Occupational health psychology. It is defined by the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety as the harmful physical and emotional responses that can result from conflicts between job demands on the employee and the amount of control an employee has over meeting these demands. Unfortunately, in most cases employees don't recognize they display signs and symptoms of deteriorating workplace stress until they became in a serious physiological and psychological conditions. Moreover, the decreased ability of workers to recover from job stressors due to lack of awareness could seriously contribute to undesirable health conditions, beside the negative impact on workplace productivity and profit.Allostatic load model, is a powerful way to assess physiological dysregulations in the state of prolonged secretion of stress hormones and the subsequent mal-adaptations this strain could exert on body systems. The Allostatic Load model proposes that measuring the multi-systemic interactions among primary mediators and effects represented by stress hormones in conjunction with pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in conjunction to sub-clinically relevant biomarkers of the secondary outcomes of stress individuals at high risk of chronic diseases could be detected.
