Abstract
Stress is something that people experience time to time in the
workplace and it is normal because you cannot control everything
but that doesnt make you powerless or that you dont possess the
ability to tackle problems, people always get stuck into difficulties
and sometimes this lead to excessive stress and it can interfere with
your productivity, physical health and even impact your emotional
health. To help this you dont need to make huge changes or
rethinking careers ambitions, but rather focusing on the one thing
thats always within your control and thats you. So here the aim of
my report is to show that how can you successfully cope with stress
and how reducing stress can be effective in motivating employees at
a workplace. Some hand-in-hand work related factors are low
salaries, workloads, no growth or opportunities for advancement, no
engaging work that motivates you to challenge yourself, unsocial
colleagues and the biggest factor that demotivates or stress the
person the most is when the person doesnt have the say in the jobrelated decisions.

Introduction
A considerable measure of examination has been directed into
anxiety in the course of the most recent hundred years. A
percentage of the speculations behind it are currently settled and
acknowledged; others are as yet being inquired about and bantered
about. Amid this time, there appears to have been something
drawing nearer open fighting between contending hypotheses and

definitions: Views have been energetically held and forcefully

guarded.
Stress is not necessarily something bad it all depends on how
you take it. The stress of exhilarating, artistic fruitful work is
beneficial, while that of failure, humiliation or infection is
detrimental.
-Hans Selye 1956
Selye believed that the biochemical impacts of anxiety would be
experienced irrespective of whether the circumstance was positive
or negative. Since then, a lot of further research has been directed
and ideas have proceeded onward. Anxiety is currently seen as a
"horrific thing", with a scope of unsafe biochemical effects. These
impacts have infrequently been observed in positive circumstances
Discussion

Stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a person

Stress indicates to the strain from the dispute between our outer
surroundings and us, it leads to emotional and physical pressure.
In our quick paced world, it is difficult to live without anxiety,
whether you are an understudy or a working adult. There is both
positive and negative stress, contingent upon every individual's one
of a kind impression of the strain between the two strengths. Not all

anxiety is awful. Stress is simply the body's response to changes

that create taxing demands.
In day by day life, we frequently utilize the word "stress" to describe
negative circumstances. This leads numerous individuals to trust
that all anxiety is terrible for you, which is not valid.
There are two main types of stressor

came to a conclusion that a specific level of stress is what it needs
to increase the productivity of employees.
Stress that generates within; a craving to accomplish and overcome
a task. While some happenings can inflame a good type of
eagerness and psychological arousal, a person feels excited while
doing his job.

As we above discussed that more than thousands of researches
have been conducted over stress and stress management to date so
here Im discussing a model of a renowned scientist Albrecht that is
Albrechts four types of stress
Albrecht's four common types of stress are:

Time stress.
Anticipatory stress.

1. Time Stress
You encounter time stress when you stress over time, or the scarcity
in that department. You stress over the quantity of things that you
need to do, and you expect that you'll neglect to accomplish
something essential. You may feel caught, despondent, or even sad.
Regular cases of time anxiety incorporate agonizing over due dates
or racing to abstain from being late for a meeting.
Managing time stress:
Time stress is a standout amongst the most widely recognized sorts
of anxiety that we encounter today. It is key to figure out how to
deal with this kind of stress in case you're going to work beneficially
in a bustling association.

To start with, learn great time administration aptitudes. This can

incorporate utilizing 'To-Do Lists' or, in the event that you need to
oversee numerous synchronous activities.

Next, ensure that you're sufficiently giving time to your critical

needs. Tragically, it's anything but difficult to become involved with
apparently earnest undertakings which really have little effect on
your general goals. This can abandon you feeling depleted, or feeling
that you worked an entire day yet refined nothing significant.

Your critical errands are typically the ones that will help you
achieve your objectives, and chipping away at these undertakings is
a superior utilization of your time.

In the event that you frequently feel that you don't have enough
time to finish the greater part of your assignments, figure out how
to make additional time in your day.

You can leave less important tasks, such as checking email, for
times when your vitality levels drop.

Additionally, ensure that you're well-mannered however decisive

about saying "no" to undertakings that you don't have the capacity
to do.
