Abstract

This research paper provides a comprehensive review and analysis of existing literature on work stress, with a particular emphasis on studies that examine the impact of stress on the health of employees. Stress is defined as an individual's adaptive response to situations that impose excessive psychological or physical demands. The causes of stress can be diverse, including life changes and trauma. Stress can lead to various consequences such as behavioral, psychological, and medical problems for individuals and affect performance, attitudes, and lead to withdrawal on an organizational level. People have various dimensions to their work and personal lives, and managing these dimensions is crucial to balancing them. Stress management is a significant concern for the department of human resource development in any organization. The study focuses on the nature, causes, and outcomes of stress faced by college women teachers and suggests measures to overcome stress in the workplace, home, and personal life.
