Someone said that stress is the poison of human life. Now, more than ever, this rings true for most people. They cannot carry easily and well today’s duties and work responsibilities if they pile anxiety and stress concerning other plans on top of them. But as accepted in society, stress and anxiety are facts of modern life. Despite the technological and medical advancements, people still feel the pressure to keep up. With the endless pressures and demands on one’s time, getting stressed out is a given fact.
Causes of stress for employees are, of course, work related. There is a wide range of examples to learn from. From a bully of a boss to payments due for a utility bill, these things added pressure to an already stressed employee. For the obstinate boss, having a dialogue is a positive step to address workplace tension. For the payment dues, taking out a faxless payday loan would solve the problem with 24 hours, or even less.
However, what people don’t fully understand is sometimes stress is not always a negative thing. There is a certain type of stress that pushes employees to perform well. According to experts on organizational development and training, positive stress is called eustress. This unique word is coined by Hans Selye, a Canadian endocrinologist. This kind of positive stress comes from desirable events that happen in a person’s life, like preparing for a wedding or the birth of a child. Another source of positive stress, or eustress, is working on a promotion. It may be stressful to the employee but at the same time fulfilling and has rewards.
However, during these financially shaky times, employees experience a lot of stress from their work tasks as well as from their job security. This debilitating type of stress can be really physically taxing and it involves distress instead of happiness. Distress happens when one has a prolonged increased level of adrenalin or jumps in prolonged physically taxing activities. The common causes of stressors are environmental stressor (present through irritating elements in one’s work or living space), emotional stressor from a relationship (being too consumed with work may affect one’s relationship with others), mental stressor (these results from too many tasks and responsibilities with very little time to accomplish them), and physical stressor (results from extended work hours, sleeping late, not enough rest, and the like).
One must be able to identify the kind of stressor pressing him or her down. After pinpointing it, people should learn how to manage such stressors.
