Journal Title: International Journal of Scientific Research and Management - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
―Nobody in this world is stress free. Stress is a part of day - to - day life, which cannot be avoidable. Stress is the outcome reaction that will be shown out by anyone when faced by a different situation, which is apart from the normal ones. The alarming spike in the incid ence of reported stress among employees in recent years and its impact on the bottom line has made the management of stress an urgent business strategy for multinational companies. During the past decade, the private sector had undergone rapid and striking changes due to emergence of globalization, liberalization and increased competition. In short the faltering economy, shrinking incomes and rampant layoffs are undeniable factors. On - the - job stressors range from unclear job expectations and time pressures to noisy work stations. A significant factor is lack of accommodation for work/life balance, which can add to the stress load, especially for women who tend to be the primary caretakers of children and elderly loved ones. Whatever the root causes, stressed workers tend to be fatigued, prone to mistakes and injuries, and are more likely to be absent. The percentage of female stress is higher than the male workforce proved from the research. The present study shows the gender biasedness in the organization. I t also reveals the fact that working women face more stress in managing their personal life with work life then man. Observation during the study suggests that Stress management can be achieved by the factors responsible for job satisfaction such as encour aging social groups, accommodating working conditions, mentally challenging work, impartial rewards and employee oriented policies etc. At the end it is suggested that Work - Life Balance and stress management is not a problem to be solved, it is a constant issue to be managed.
