Komal Dhanda

Abstract :

<p> Seeing the complicated nature of the concept of job stress also called as work or occupational stress, it is a challenging task to come up with a single generalized definition of job stress. As it is a well-known truth that a sole technique or approach is not capable of elucidating the extent of the phenomenon. So, the motive of the present study is to offer a standard assessment of a number of the demanding conditions surrounding the conceptuality of job stress in literature. Further, the proven understanding relating to the nature and causes of job stress have been examined in light of the conceptual typology of Murphy (1995) and Michie (2002) that portrays bases of place of job stress which has been classified as arising from the environment and content material of work. These stress bases are certainly considered to produce grim organisational and auxiliary-organisational effects like low morale, bad overall performance, career insecurity, absenteeism, health issues, work-life clash, employee turnover and other adversities that threaten progressive goals of organization. As a corrective measure to this, stress remedial methods have been reviewed so that managers can recognize the importance of imparting powerful stress control strategies to augment the personal well-being of the workers and also boost the organisational productiveness.</p>
