CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Statement of the Research Problem

How do you cope with stress in the workplace to achieve a more balanced
lifestyle?  Stress is a part of everybody's life.  Depending on the level of
stress, it can control our lives, especially in the workplace.  We begin to
spend several long hours at work, and thus have less time for other things.
Stressed employees may be unhappy and thus produce nominally.  Stress can
deteriorate social and family relationships and eventually burn you out;
ultimately it can take toll on your health. Organizations need to recognize
stress as a problem and decide whether or not to act upon it.

Background Information

This question needs to be answered because stress is a problem that all
organizations must deal with;  stress can cause poor work performance and lower
employee morale.  These factors can increase employee turnover rate and lessen

possible, and thus increasingly expected, for employees to be accessible and
productive any hour, any day.

At a workplace, one observes several sales people working long hours, claiming
it is due to under staffing.  Employees reach a point of diminishing returns.
The more hours they work, the less productive they are. This stressful condition
causes the quality of work to dwindle.  Consequently, clients recognize this,
and eventually they terminate the business relationship.  Soon the company loses,
as it is built on these clients.

Statement of the Objectives

In this research, I expect to discuss factors which lead to stress in the
workplace.  Are individuals stressed in the workplace?  What causes stress in
