Over 65% of questioned people said they
would continue to work even if they did not
have any financial need. Many managers,
however, (60%) would prefer "to work
elsewhere."
A minority of respondents (16%) say that
there are situations in which stress motivate
them to act in order to achieve something - it
is positive stress (eustress); but the most
common is negative stress (distress), when
body and / or mind begin to respond
negatively to stress agents. Over 85% of
respondents considered that the stress level is
much higher now as compared to five years
ago.
