CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
&:&: INTRODUCTION ABOUT TOPIC
5rgani'ational life is &uite stressful 1or% pressures, tight schedules, meetings that never
seem to end on time, unhelpful colleagues, critical !osses, incompetent su!ordinates and a host
of other irritating factors may all have a cumulative effect in ma%ing the lives of modern/day
e4ecutives &uite misera!le 6s we all %now, stress is the !ody0s reaction to any demand made on
it 7erception of events, whether positive or negative, activates stress It is, therefore, a highly
individual affair 1hat is stressful to 890 may not !e so to another :ut it is fairly easy to
conclude that everyone lives under a certain amount of stress In fact, the only people without
stress are dead 6t the same time, it is certainly wrong to conclude that stress is always !ad
.ild stress may improve productivity It may force people to focus more sharply on the pro!lem
and produce solutions owever, if stress is severe and persists for long periods, it can !e
harmful Stress can !e disruptive to an individual as any accident It can lead to poor
performance on the "o!, e4cessive use of alcohol or other drugs, poor attendance or even overall
poor health In fact, there is growing evidence that undue stress is related to the diseases that arema"or causes of death/coronary heart disease, stro%e, hypertension, dia!etes, cancer, cirrhosis
and suicide
Stress may !e understood as a state of tension e4perienced !y individuals facing
e4traordinary demands, constraints or opportunities The pressures of modern life, coupled with
the demands of a "o!, can lead to emotional im!alances that that are collectively la!eled 8stress0
of achievement and the e4citement of a challenge Stress is the spice of life and the a!sence of
stress ma%es life dull, monotonous and spiritless There is, in fact, growing evidence that peopleneed a certain amount of stimulation and that monotony can !ring on some of the same pro!lems
as over/wor% The term 8stress0 normally refers to e4cessive stress caused !y e4traordinary
demands (which cause us to lose something we desire), constraints (things that %eep us from
doing what we desire) or opportunities

2ncertainty can lead to distress, !ut so can certainty or over control
7ressure can produce distress, !ut so is lac% of contact or lim!o
#esponsi!ility can lead to distress, !ut so can lac% of responsi!ility or insignificance
7erformance evaluation can lead to distress, !ut so can lac% of feed!ac% regarding your effort
#ole am!iguity can lead to distress, !ut so can "o! descriptions that constrain individuality
>or these and other factors, the important %ey is to find out an appropriate amount of stress for
the organi'ation in general and for each individual in particular

6s pointed out previously, stress is a state of tension e4perienced !y individuals facing
e4traordinary demands, constraints or opportunities Stress can !e either positive or negative
>or e4ample, some new wor% situations can !ring us positive challenges and e4citement 8while
we must constantly face stress/producing situations 1e cannot avoid them all, and we cannot
fight them all >or the most part, we choose to go along with them The am!iguous !oss, the
preferred opportunities, the multifarious relationships, increased mo!ility, heavy traffic, the e4tra
"o!, ris%y investments/in general, @life in the fast laneA/ which most of us e4perience, can !e
viewed as a series of stress/producing situations Conse&uently, each of us faces in a wee% more
of these stressors than our parents faced in a lifetime Instead of arising and su!siding, stress
stays with us and !uilds up Stress is additive as it persists and grows, we !egin to e4hi!it a wide
variety of symptoms and effects which, for the most part, are dysfunctional and which, for some,
are crippling or even fatal
Individuals can have a variety of reactions to "o! stress They can react emotionally !y
feeling frustrated or an4ious, happy or e4cited, !ored or depressed They may e4perience mental
!loc%s, !e hypersensitive to criticism or have trou!le concentrating 7eople can respond to stress
!ehaviorally; they may eat more, drin% more, lose their appetites; or stop going out socially and
mi4 with people freely 7eople can also respond to stress psychologically, as e4plained !y ans

Selve considered stress a non/specific response to any demand made upon an organism
e called the three phases of the defense reaction that a person esta!lish when stressed as the
Deneral 6daptation Syndrome (D6S) Selve called the defense reaction, general !ecause
stressors had effects on several parts of the !ody; adaptation refers to a stimulation of defenses
intended to help the !ody ad"ust to or deal with the stressors, and syndrome shows that individual
pieces of the reaction ta%e place more or less together The three distinct phases are %nown as?
alarm, resistance and e4haustion
The alarm stage is the initial mo!ili'ation !y which the !ody meets the challenge posed
!y the stressor 1hen a stressor is identified, the !rain sends forth !iochemical messages to all
of the !ody0s systems #espiration increases, !lood pressure raises, pupils dilate, muscles tense
up and so forth
If the stressor continues, the D6S proceeds to the resistance stage The signs of
resistance stage include tension, an4iety and fatigue The person is now fighting the stressor
1hile resistances to a specific stressor may !e high during this period, resistance to other
stressors may !e low 6 person has only finite sources of energy, concentration, and a!ility to
resist stressors Individuals are often more illness/prone during periods of stress than at other
times

Intra sender conflict occurs when one persons as%s you to accomplish two o!"ectives that
are in apparent conflict If your !oss as%s you to hurry up and finish your wor% !ut also decrease
your pay for your mista%es, you would e4perience this type of conflict
Inter sender conflict occurs when two or more senders give you incompati!le directions Four
!oss may want you to complete a crash pro"ect on time, !ut company policy temporarily
prohi!its authori'ing overtime payments to clerical assistance
Inter role conflict results when two different roles you play are in conflict Four company may
want you to travel percent of the time, while your spouse threatens a divorce if you travel
more than percent of the time
7erson/role conflict occurs when the role that your organi'ation e4pects you to occupy are in
conflict with your !asis values Four company may as% you to fire su!standard performers, !ut
this could !e in conflict with your humanistic values

#ole am!iguity occurs when position holders are uncertain a!out limits of their
authority and that of others, company rules, "o! security and the methods used to evaluate their
wor% #esearch studies have indicated that the more am!iguity a person reported, the lower the
person0s utili'ation of intellectual s%ills, %nowledge and leadership s%ills It was also found that
role am!iguity was significantly related to low "o! satisfaction and to feelings of "o! related
threats to mental physical well !eing

Imagine for a moment a!out an e4ecutive who is attempting to dictate a letter,
tal% on three phones, conducting an interview and writing s report all the same time There is no
use trying to do too much in too little time Constant interruptions, changing hats every five
minutes, a constant stream of visitors, a mountain of files and papers to process and a num!er of
su!ordinates loo%ing up to his volu!le advice and guidance/all increase the &uantitative and
&ualitative overload 7ersons who e4perience such conditions show clear signs of stress and
report health pro!lem

6t the other e4treme, having nothing to do or !eing as%ed to do too little in one0s
wor% can also is &uite stressful Sales people in a store with no customers, standing around all
day with nothing to do could said to e4perience role underload 6ssem!ly line wor%ers also
generally e4perience role under load #arely do they perform more than one or two tas%s day
after day Ironically, role underload can lead to many of the same pro!lems as role overload; low
self/esteem, increased fre&uency of nervous symptoms and complaints, increased health
pro!lems 5ne of the most unfortunate outcomes of role underload is passivity 1or%ers with
role underload report that they feel !oth physically and psychologically weary; even when they
are not at wor%, they do not show much interest in social activity or physical e4ercise Two
factors succinctly e4plain the relationship !etween underload and stress .ost persons wish to
feel useful and needed Thus, when they find that they are doing very little and achieving ne4t to
nothing in their "o!s, their self/esteem may !e threatened Secondly, people want stimulation
They do not li%e the idea of staring !lan%ly into space all the time They prefer to interact with
the wor% around them and something worthwhile No wonder, "o!s that demand too little can !e
unpleasant, !oring and stressful
I2/e53e59"246 5e64/."291.3
6nother source of stress in organi'ations is poor interpersonal relationship with others, !e
they supervisors, cowor%ers, su!ordinates or clients 1hen interpersonal relationship at wor% is
not pleasant, employees develop a generali'ed an4iety, a feeling of fear a!out upcoming meeting
and interactions Three aspects of interpersonal relationship at wor%, in particular, have a
negative influence on "o! stress? amount of contact with people in other department and
organi'ational climate

6ny type of responsi!ility can !e !urdensome for some people +ifferent types of
responsi!ility function differently as stressors 5ne way of classifying this varia!le is in terms of
responsi!ility for people versus responsi!ility for things The more responsi!ility for people
reported, according to one research study, the more li%ely the person was to smo%e heavily, have
high !lood pressure and show higher cholesterol levels 5n the contrary, the more responsi!ility
for things the employee reported, the lower these indicators were

little time helping each other with pro!lems Li%ewise, if employees are not encouraged to
participate actively in organi'ational activities, stressful situations may develop riedman and #ose man have identified several personality characteristics
of people who are most prone to stress Such people, called as Type 6 personalities, gravitate
toward occupations that encourage heavy wor% They are fre&uently found to !e heavy smo%ers
They are am!itious, hard driving and set tough targets for themselves They are willing to
oppose others to get what they want They ta%e on increasing amounts of wor% and world at
incredi!le speed on order to meet deadlines They are fiercely competitive and would li%e to win
all the time
Type :0s, on the other hand, wor% at a steadier pace They do not wor% against the cloc%
They set reasona!le targets for themselves and do not feel the pressure They are li%ely to 8let
things roll off their !ac%s0 rather than fight every issue Some of the typical characteristics of
Type : personalities may !e stated thus?
The type 6 could !e compared to a racehorse and the : to a turtle Though the recent studies
&uestion the relationship !etween type 6 !ehavior pattern and stress, it has !een generally agreed
that type 60 s are more prone to stress than type :0s

: SUGGESTIONS
6lthough stress is an in!uilt character of the "o! of transport drivers, the organi'ation
could prove to !e some help in reducing the amount of stress if they implement the following
recommended strategies
The schedule provided to drivers are old and this will not applica!le for the present high
traffic, so the management should apply new schedule , this will reduce the stress level
among the drivers 6nd also this will reduce the !ad incidents
appy wor%ers are productive wor%ers, so the management should provide recreation
facilities li%e gym facility, yoga facility, and rela4ation facility and other facilities which
reduce the stress of driver Now a day the yoga is not properly followed is one of the
complaints of most drivers
