ANALYZING THE IMPACT OF WORKPLACE STRESS ON EMPLOYEES HEALTH AND PRODUCTIVITY

Abstract

Stress in the workplace has a significant impact on workers’ physical and mental well-being, productivity, and job satisfaction. Numerous health problems, such as anxiety, depression, heart disease, and musculoskeletal disorders, have been related to long-term stress, according to research. In addition to lowering workers’ quality of life, these health issues also increase absenteeism, turnover, and organizational performance. One important indicator of an organization’s success, productivity, is especially susceptible to stress. Stressed-out workers are frequently less motivated, engaged, and creative, which lowers output and lowers the caliber of their work. Long-term stress can also affect cognitive abilities like memory, focus, and decision-making, which can further impair performance.The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of workplace stress, its effects on productivity and health, and whether stress has a different effect on male and female employees. In order to lessen the negative effects of workplace stress, the research aims to aid in the development of focused interventions.
