THE FACTORS INFLUENCING ORGANISATIONAL STRESS AND STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING STRESS

Stress is a common phenomenon in modern organizations. It is both physical and psychological. It is understood through biological disorders leading to a psychological illness. Stress does not result from a single experience but occurs when the realization of desires and wishes are constrained by certain internal and external factors. People often confuse stress, anxiety, and burnout. They are not the same concept, although stress is accompanied by anxiety, whereas anxiety need not result into stress and burnout is a state of mind, resulting from emotional stress. A person may feel strained when overworked on a particular day. If this strain continues, it may result in burnout.
