Which one of the following is not a behavioral symptom of stress?

Correct option is A

Lower Job Satisfaction is not a behavioral symptom of stress. While stress can lead to lower job satisfaction, job satisfaction itself is an attitudinal or emotional response. The other options are observable behaviors:
· Lower Job Performance: This is a behavioral symptom. Stress can impair cognitive function and lead to reduced productivity.
· Higher Absenteeism: This is a behavioral symptom. Stressed individuals may take more sick days or avoid work altogether.
· Higher Labour Turnover: This is a behavioral symptom. Stress can cause employees to seek new employment, leading to increased turnover rates.
Job satisfaction is an internal feeling or attitude, not a directly observable behavior. Therefore, the answer is (a).
