Occupational Stress in the Workplace

The present study was carried out to identify and explain occupational stress, types of occupational stress, level of stress, causes of stress, stress management, and strategies of stress management. The issue of occupational stress is very common in any business organization, occupation, or profession. Today, many business organizations are unnecessarily stressful and have adverse effects on the employees' physical and mental conditions. In many business organizations, there are higher levels of stress. These stresses are an integral and largely unavoidable element of the job. Information Technology (IT) organizations are a good example of this situation. Employees in IT organizations are among those with the most highly stressed occupations, marked by the need to respond to others' demands and time, with very little bit of control over any event. Now a day, occupational stress has become a worldwide problem or issue about human resources.
