" Another element of job satisfaction is stress, and stress levels are highest where balance is lowest. It often reflects the difference between expectation and reality. If an organization sets expectations too high and then fails to meet them, employee stress levels will obviously skyrocket. The carefully cultivated balance between individual aspirations and company goals will be upset. That’s less likely to happen if people can set their own expectations for themselves and for the company. "
