Role ambiguity results when these three types of information are non‐existent or inadequately communicated. Organizational factors (e.g., rapidly changing organizational structures, job feedback systems) and individual factors (e.g., information processing biases) may cause role ambiguity. Consequences of role ambiguity may include tension, job dissatisfaction, and turnover. It is useful to distinguish objective role ambiguity from the subjective role ambiguity experienced by the person in the role.

Another workplace stress consequence that Porath explores is the loss of focus and concentration of an employee that is in or has been in very stressful situations. A survey done on over 4,500 doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel shows that 71% relate rude behavior in the workplace with medical errors, and 27% relate this behavior to a patient’s death (Porath, 2015).

Burnout is a definite challenge as it can simply be defined as the psychological, physical, and spiritual fatigue, and one is unable to continue coping (Manning & Curtis, 2012).

Work Family Enrichment Carlson, Kacmar, Wayne, and Grzywacz (2006) described the concept of work-to-family enrichment (WFE) as how family roles benefit from work roles through affect, development and capital derived from involvement in work.

The impact of family-work enrichment to Mrs. Burai is all of her children now are leading successful and independent life.

From school to soccer practice, to a party, he felt like his eyes were about to close shut. His house was only two blocks away, but his mind was somewhere far beyond that.

Organizational Psychology (1998) by Dirk Enzmann and Wilmar B. Schaufeli, despite this multidimensional definition, however, the three types of exhaustion themselves are not placed into a theoretical framework and a discussion of their differential development over time or their causes or consequences is lacking. For example, there is no explanation of why and how physical exhaustion, which is defined by such diverse symptoms a chronic fatigue, accident proneness, muscle tensions and increased susceptibility to illness, is caused by long-term involvement in situations that are emotionally to demanding (Pines & Aronson, 1988, p. 9).
