Explanation

The passage states that if someone isn't stressed at work, the general belief is that they aren't working sincerely. 'Perception' refers to this common way of thinking or understanding. 'Conception' means beginning or formation, 'inception' is the start of something, and 'deception' is misleading - none fit the context of general opinion.
