Corruption, Public Integrity And Globalization: Aspects And Trends In South-Eastern European States, Lucica Matei, Andrew Ewoh

All these factors have brought the employees under fear, sense of insecurity and high stress due to which they become nervous, chronically worried, depressed and emotionally instable.
