Stress Affects the Working of An Employee in An Organization

Author: Kanika Maheshwari

Abstract:
Workplace stress derives from many sources. It comes through a demanding boss, annoying co-workers, rebellious students, angry customers, hazardous conditions, long commutes and a never-ending workload. Our work performance is also affected by stressors such as family relationships, finances and a lack of sleep stemming from fears and anxieties about the future. How we handle the effects of stress depends on whether it is easier to change the situation or change our attitude toward it. Although there is not convincing evidence that job stressors cause health effects, the indirect evidence is strongly suggestive of a work stress effect. This evidence comes from occupational studies that show differences in health and mortality that are not easily explained by other factors and within-subject studies that demonstrate a causal effect of work experiences on physiological and emotional responses. We argue that studies relying on self-reports of working conditions and outcomes, whether cross-sectional or longitudinal, are unlikely to add significantly to the accumulated evidence.
