Notes: %Agree. The percentage of respondents who agreed or strongly agreed (or replied 'always' or 'often') to this factor.*The questions in the questionnaire for this factor are negatively phrased, but to help compare across the other factors in this table the scores been reversed so that a higher agreement in the table indicates less stress at work.
