WHAT IS STRESS?
Every job creates a certain amount of pressure and sometimes it is this pressure
that motivates us to do a job well. If we are under excessive pressure or ‘stress’ for a long
time, this may lead to physical or mental illness (such as depression, nervous breakdown,
heart disease).

SIGNS OF STRESS:
There are certain signals which may suggest that we are experience stress. These
include:

The nature of the job, such as working with the public, working alone, repetitive
or boring work.
STRESS PERSONALITIES:

Role Conflict:
The conflict in which an individual may have to act contrary to what he really
thinks his role as. It results in dissatisfaction, tension, threats and increased rate of heart
rate.
Value Conflict:
If an employee holds certain values, which he is not able to put into practice,
because the company practices are of an opposite nature, a value conflict may ensure and
result in stress.
Role Ambiguity:
When the roles are not clearly defined, the individuals are at a loss to know what
real role in the organization setup is, such types of poorly structured roles are called

Performance Appraisal:
It is most often linked with rewards, promotion, etc, when the appraisal goes
wrong they get lose rewards and promotion. It leads to high stress.

Repetitive works:
One most dominant feature of modern assembly like work is its unending
repetitive character. Such work is tremendously monotonous and boring because it lacks
any challenge or involvement of the worker, it makes the employees at a very high stress.
A pay system known as piece work system, in which the worker is paid according
to the pieces or units of work, he produces in a given time, has been found more stressful
Family relations:
Life is full of petty annoyances and irritations. All these may expose them

COPING STRATEGIES FOR STRESS:
Generally, there are two major types of deliberate coping strategies for dealing
with stress. Individual coping strategies and organizational strategies are follows;
INDIVIDUAL STRATEGIES:-
Some specific technologies that individuals can use for coping with stress include
the following;
1) Physical Exercise:
a way to deal with excessive stress levels. Physical fitness helps the body to
cope better with stress, whereas relaxation techniques are useful for the mind.
2) Relaxation:
from a machine, the individual is informed of his level of relaxation; then with
practice of he can eventually learn to reach this level without the use of
machine.
8
3) Meditation:
Get into apposition that you can comfortably sustain for a period of time.
If you are supple enough, then the lotus position may be appropriate.
Otherwise just sit in a comfortable chair or pain flowing out when you exhale.
Focus on a sound:
different chants. You will find that as you practice meditation, your attention

things.
Networking:
colleagues who are listeners and confidence builders. These peers are
available when needed and provide support to get the person through stressful

ORGANISATIONAL STRATEGIES:
Stress can affect any worker or a manager, young or old. And almost any job
While certain jobs are more stressful than others, individuals differ in their
response to stress situations. For example the individuals with little experience or an
external locus of control tend to be more stress prone. Selection and placement decisions
should take those facts into consideration. Obviously, while management shouldn’t
restrict hiring to only experienced individuals with an internal locus, such individuals
may adapt better to high stress jobs and perform those jobs more effectively.

Goal Setting:
Individuals perform better when they have specific and challenging goals and
receive feedback on how well they are progressing towards these goals. The use foals can

more autonomy, and increased feedback can reduce stress, because these factors give the
employee greater control over the activities and lesson dependence on others.
Role stress is detrimental to a large extent because employees feel uncertain about
goals, expectations, hoe they will be evaluated, and the like. By giving these employees a

CONCEPT OF STRESS:
The term stress has been borrowed from physical sciences where it is used to
mean force, pressure or strain applied on an organism, which resists this force and
struggles to maintain its original position. It was Selye who introduced the concept of
stress in life sciences more than five decades age. Selye (1946) observed the reactions of
his animal subjects to a variety of stimuli and proposed three stages in the “General
Adaption Syndrome” (GAS) model, to explain the stress phenomenon; Alarm Reaction
Ever since Selye’s pioneering work on stress, the term has been used variously by
researchers of various academic fields to meet their specific requirements. Even the
psychologists and behavior lists have been using the term differently. One group of
operating on an individual which is perceived as a threat. The other group believes that
There is however still another group of analysts who feel that stress is the outcome of the
transaction between the stimulus and the response. Most of the behavioral scientists
belong to the third category and believe that stress is a situation created by the interaction
between the stimulus or the external force upon the individual and the deviation or the
an opportunity, constraint or demand related to what the individual desires and for which
14
the outcome is perceived to be both uncertain and important. Hence, stress involves an
interaction between the person and the environment. It begins with the environmental
demand or opportunity for a person to behave and ends with the person’s response to that
psychological and internal phenomenon and its level is subservient to many factors like
perception of the individual vis-à-vis his capacity to deal with the situation and the
Stress has been a part of every civilization and as such people cannot imagine of a
stress free life. Nevertheless, given the physical, psychological and behavioral
repercussions, individuals and organizations cannot afford to live in the continuous state
of tension and anxiety. The researchers have therefore been trying to find out the ways
and means to counteract stress. In general, two different strategies of coping with stress
have been advocated, ‘avoider’ and ‘coper’. The avoider solves the stress problems
simply by denying them, diverting attention, taking time off from routine preoccupations
and developing hobbies. (Sharma 1983), Contrary to it, the ‘coper’ seeks out stress
situations so as to learn how to cope with them. Similarly, Pareek (1983) suggests that
effective coping strategies are ‘approach’ strategies, to confront the problem of stress a
challenge and to enhance the capability of dealing with it. Ineffective and unpleasant
resorting the escapism, denying the reality of stress through use of alcohol drugs and

smoking for example. Numerous studies have suggested that social support moderates the
creating a person-work environment fit (Agarwal, 1985). Calling this synthesis a job
characteristics approach’ he has empirically found that linking the individual to the job
characteristics yields the result of low absenteeism and turnover and high worker
satisfaction.
Investigating the impact of yoga and meditation on stress experience has been yet
another field of fascination for researchers. Despite the voluminous research on stress
management, no panaceas therapy has so far been evolved for effectively managing stress
that has been covertly taking its toll. Moreover, the thrust has unevenly been on ‘coping’
and the preventive antidote. As a potent method of mitigating the impact of this inevitable

related to job stress and health dimensions. The literature on stress distinguishes between
bad stress (distress) and good stress (eustress). Distress is reported to have detrimental,
even pernicious effects; while eustress has beneficial effects, such as desire to take
additional responsibility. Greenwood (1979) uses the terms distress and eustress to refer
to effects of stress, and not to different kinds of stress. They also suggest that executive
