Millions of reasons can cause stress to an employee.

Personal reasons related to his family, environment, traffic on the roads...

Work reasons related to the work environment like feeling not able to adapt to the work place.Also not fully understanding the work procedure can cause stress and fear of making mistakes.

Sometimes employees are irritated from their colleagues or their managers.
