Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jeremy's stress is primarily caused by work overload, as he is working 25 hours a week in addition to a heavy course load. The other options (conflicting expectations, perceived control over events, unclear expectations, and job characteristics) may also contribute to his stress but are not the primary cause in this scenario.
