This is probably one issue for which you may not need a survey to confirm. Nearly everyone feels stressed at work. Workplace stresses are not that different from domestic stresses. You feel stressed when there are high expectations, changes in responsibilities, possibility of job loss or even when you are standing at the threshold of a promotion.
