Research by Anglia Ruskin University and Totaljobs has found that whilst women are more likely to experience stress and frustration on the job, men are generally more emotionally invested and experience negative feelings if they miss a deadline.

Dr. Terri Simpkin said: ''Men are more likely to report experiencing emotions associated with power, such as anger or pride. In fact, emotions and power are inextricably linked.

''Not being heard is congruent with lacking in status. Similarly, sadness is associated with a lack of power in social settings such as the workplace.''
