Some working conditions, “destroy” the human psyche. Contradictory demands of the management, intensive pace of work, the inability to make decisions and use their skills negatively affect the human psyche..

Scientists from South Wales in Australia and London in the UK reported the results of the study, which resulted in the identification of working conditions that adversely affect the psyche of employees..

Most of the pressure on the person has the lack of ability to make decisions at work, the inability to use their own skills, high pace of work, contradictions in the requirements of the authorities and high responsibility.

The study took into account non-work related living conditions, as well as a person’s temperament, level of education and mental problems..

Thanks to this, it was possible to establish that, regardless of the external conditions and type of activity, in the presence of the above described negative factors, psychological disorders occur by the age of 50 in both men and women. If the work involves a lot of responsibility, then the risk of developing depression and anxiety syndrome increases by 70%, if there is no possibility to influence the work process - by 89%, and if a large load is added to these two factors, the risk of developing depression and anxiety syndrome is - 122 %.
