Occupational stress stands as a major concern, in terms of both the employees, as well as in terms of the company and for the society itself, as a whole.

The connection between labour stress factors and the employees' wellbeing highlights one clear-cut moral obligation on the employers' part to ensure as well as maintain the best reasonably possible mental and physical state of their employees. In addition to this moral obligation, it has also been claimed that employers should be aware of the financial consequences triggered by the employees' wellbeing level decrease. Thus, the present paper aims at describing as well as analyzing the various types of theoretical approaches of stress.
