Abstract

Stress in the work place has become the black plague of the present century. Much of the stress at work is caused not only by work overload and time pressure but also by lack of rewards and praise. Stress management is more important now-a-days in service, financial and manufacturing industries. There is no such thing like stress-free job. Everyone in their work is exposed to tension and anxiety as they get through the duties assigned to them. With this backdrop, the present research has been undertaken to study the causes and consequences of stress in different private and public sector companies of Odisha.
