For instance, stress due to the change of working systems is a problem caused by the employer. Therefore, it is the employer's duty to ensure that employee learn and adapt to the new systems or machines and be able to work stress-free to meet the demands for production from the company management. The employer should ensure that an employee has just enough work for the day and not an overloaded of work. This will enable the employee to cope up with the work environment and love his work. The employer is also obliged to the provision of break periods between the work process, to provide the employee some time for relaxing and refreshing.

Often, role ambiguity results to confusion of the employees on what they are expected to do, which also results to work overload, when the employees try to cover up for managers and leaders. Therefore, to reduce role ambiguity, leaders and managers should behave in a way that supports the roles assigned to employees. Consequently, the employees will clearly know their roles at their work place and work towards realization of positive results (Anderson, & Pulich, 2001, p.6).
