Stay Healthy at Work
Don't Work Yourself Sick

Are you working yourself sick? Your attitude can play a major part in your happiness at work. Having a high level of control over your job responsibilities can backfire if you lack confidence or take setbacks too personally. Combine the two, and you're more vulnerable to infections, like bronchitis, influenza or even the common cold, says a study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology.

Employees who thought they had control over their job responsibilities and who did not blame themselves for negative outcomes suffered the least amount of stress even in demanding jobs.

The bottom line, say researchers, is that if you have an inclination for self-blame, a job where you have less control in a high-demand atmosphere may be better -- that way you can blame the job instead of yourself when things go wrong.
