Zwangsbelastung Common in legal matters (Zwangsbelastung von Immobilien/Erben, Zwangsbelastung as Enteignung, Zwangsbelastung durch Gesetzgeber, etc.), but occasionally, you'll find something like this:
"Das Spiel soll Spaß machen und keine Zwangsbelastung werden, darum sind auch unsere Schlachtzüge eine freiwillige Beteiligung, für jeden."

"Elternbeiratsvorsitzender Rolf Thielmann brachte ebenfalls das Thema G8 zur Sprache. 'Eltern und Schüler sind froh, dass diese Zwangsbelastung bald zu Ende ist', sagte er."

Since it's market research, maybe they're trying to figure out whether people are satisfied with their job or see it as some kind of punishment that they have to endure every day.

I second Ramey's statement here, though: Unless we know at least something more (even a teeny-tiny bit more), any suggestion will be guesswork.

Ramey Rieger (X) Jun 8, 2016:

Hi Helene Just give us what you have, even if it is not a complete sentence. Tell us - or at least infer if it's highly confidential - what the text is about. Is it a letter? A dismissal?

A bit more context would be appreciated. At KudoZ dedicated colleagues are trying to help you. Without conext/additional info it is more a quiz/guess.

Helene Lyons (asker) Jun 8, 2016:

Hi Ramey, what I have is very limited it´s not even a full sentence so any suggestions are greatly received. It is referring to some of the negative aspects of work- "stress" could work. Thanks for the reminder Phil, they have now been closed.

Also You have open questions going back a long way - how about closing those and awarding points before you ask more?

philgoddard Jun 7, 2016:

Yes That sounds like a contradiction: "In the context I found... that is all the information I have."

Ramey Rieger (X) Jun 7, 2016:

Hi Helene But you must have the German sentence in which the term appears?
