A Study on Stress Management Among Employess with Reference to Hetero Drug Ltd.

Stress is an all too a common part of life today. Sometimes few individuals can avoid. In fact, a nationwide survey conducted by a large life insurance company showed that nearly 46% of American workers believe their jobs are highly stressful. This growing evidence suggests that high levels of stress adversely affect physical health, psychological well-being and many aspects of task performance. Concern about the impact of stress on people, has its roots in medicine and specifically in the pioneering work of Hans selye, the recognized father of stress. In his search for a hormone by chance he discovered that tissue damage is a nonspecific response to virtually all noxious stimuli. He called this phenomenon the general adaption syndrome and about a decade later he introduced the terms "stress" in his writings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
