Abstract
The purpose of the present work is to reflect on a new direction in the research on work stress. The possible existence of a proportion of «positivity» in the perception of stress is emphasized. This proportion can affect the level of burnout, work engagement and flourishing. Culture can play a fundamental role in these relationships
