A PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDY ON INFLUENTIAL FACTORS OF WORK-STRESS

Abstract

Over time, several definitions of stress have been put forward. It was first thought to be the result of external pressure, and later it was linked to internal tension. These days, the most widely recognized definition is the one that discusses an individual's interactions with their surroundings. When a person lacks the resources to meet the expectations and stress of their environment, they suffer from psychological and physical strain. As such, stress is more common in particular circumstances and among some people than in others. An individual's or an organization's capacity to achieve its objectives may be hampered by stress.

Our theoretical theories were assessed using information obtained by means of aquestionnaire survey that was distributed. Before the formal poll, a pilot study was conducted. Then revised the questionnaire in light of the trial investigation's conclusions.The questionnaire was sent at random among the large number of employed individuals who work for various organizations located in Visakhapatnam City, Andhra Pradesh. Consequently, 174 people were selected to be considered as the study sample. This study aims to explore the psychological factors that affect stress at working environment of different individuals.
