ABSTRACT
Stress and fatigue are words with a long history of use by scientist, practitioners, and the public. In both science and the workplace, these words are liberally and frequently employed, often with the assumption that they promote communication, concern, and change. Unfortunately, this is not always true. Research clearly indicates that both of these words refer to multidimensional and interacting constructs. Those who use stress and fatigue as references often fail to recognize this complexity and use these words in confusing ways.
