Occupational stress is stress involving work. According to the current World Health Organization's (WHO) definition, occupational or work-related stress "is the response people may have when presented with work demands and pressures that are not matched to their knowledge and abilities and which challenge their ability to cope.

Agree with Mr. Divyesh and like to continue few more:-
8. Weather conditions
9. Personal economic condition.
10. Health issues (fitness)
11. Lack of confidence , knowledge.
and the most important I feel
12. Fear of failure.
1- lack of work / life balance.
2- extreme workload all the time not on intervals
3- Bad relation with managers
4- Managers who exercise any of the following: micromanagement - dictatorship - unfair performance evaluation - creating tension and stress around the office by being angry all the time - no appreciation or rewards policy - lack of motivational strategy.
5- Feeling insecure ... like suspecting layoffs or company bad financial situation
I would stress some of the most typical job-stressors:
Great answers colleagues
Lack of sense of job security
