Abstract
The manifestation of stress affects every aspect of the workplace. A plethora of research examines the sources and the effects of work-related-stress on employees' health and productivity. Occupational stress very often causes an imbalance and decrease in overall performance. Non-profit organisations are notoriously known to live in a precarious financial position. A review of the literature in the UK indicates that non- profit organisations are not immune to occupational stress and therefore managers have a duty of care to ensure that stress levels are mitigated to keep employees motivated.
