Some jobs are considered more stressful than others.Describe what this really means and give two reasons why someone in a 'high-stress' job might experience less stress than another person in a 'low-stress' job two types of behavior modification interventions that might change employee behavior in this situation.

Jobs are more stressful if they have more stressors than other jobs.However, this does not necessarily mean that all people in high-stress jobs experience more stress than people in lower-stress jobs.
One problem with rating the stress of occupations is that task characteristics and job environments differ considerably for the same job in different organizations and societies.A police officer's job may be less stressful in a small town, for instance, than in a large city where crime rates are higher and the organizational hierarchy is more formal.
Another problem with identifying a job as 'high stress' is that a job with many stressors may be stressful to one person and create very little stress to another.In this respect, we must be careful not to conclude that people in high-stress occupations actually experience higher stress than people in other occupations.They are exposed to more serious stressors, but careful selection and training can result in stress levels no different from those experienced by people in other jobs.
