Example 01 Today, many organizations and employees are experiencing the effects of stress on work performance. The effects of stress can be either positive or negative. What is perceived as positive stress by one person may be perceived as negative stress by another, since everyone perceives situations differently. According to Barden (2001), negative stress is becoming a major illness in the work environment, and it can debilitate employees and be costly to employers. Managers need to identify those suffering from negative stress and implement programs as a defense against stress. These programs may reduce the impact stress has on employees' work performance.

Example 03: A Report on the Rise in Computer Gaming Addiction Among Teenagers 1. Introduction 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this report is to investigate the reasons behind the rise in computer gaming addiction among teenagers. The report will also recommend preventive measures for computer gaming addiction. 1.2 Background A recent study on game technology (Tan, 2010) shows that nearly 75% of teenagers in Singapore play computer games regularly and the majority of them show signs of addiction. The rise in computer gaming addiction among teenagers is a growing concern and the Ministry of Media Development (MDD) would like to find out the reasons behind this trend. The report was commissioned by the Director of Corporate Communications, Ms Julie Sim, on 31 May 2010. 1.3 Method of Investigation Questionnaires were issued to 100 teenagers from 25 educational institutions on 25 June 2010. Three teenagers who were former addicts were also interviewed to get more in-depth views. References were also made to books and newspaper articles. 1.4 Scope Besides respondents’ profile, this report looks into four possible reasons for the rise in gaming addiction among teenagers: boredom, stress, societal influence and addictive game features.
