A new report finds your boss could be contributing to the stress of your job more than your actual work load.

The findings by psychologist Robert Hogan during the American Psychological Association's annual conference shows 75 percent of working adults say the worst part about their job is their immediate boss.

"Bad managers create enormous health costs and are a major source of misery for many people," Hogan said.

He also said a major cause of stress is bad management, because stress negatively affects your immune system and health.

According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), workers are increasingly required to assume greater personal responsibility for their continuity of employment. 

Stress can be a contributing factor of heart disease, which is the number one killer in women, the CDC finds.

The survey looked at 1,714 adults over 18 who are currently full-time, part-time and self-employed.
