Impact of stressors on organization
Stress can be explained as a psychological strain, generated from several unusual and
demanding situations. Higher workplace stress can have major profound impact on the
climate and morale of the organization. Several factors such as, fears of job security, higher
workloads and long work hours might lead into creating higher stress within the employees.
The major outcomes of stress that highly affect the organization include job dissatisfaction of
the employee, absenteeism, employee turnover, degrading performance level and less
efficiency and productivity (Giorgi et al., 2015). Organizational stress can also resulted in
counterproductive workplace behaviour, which might lead to change in behaviour of the
employees, increasing disrespect for the co-workers, changing attitude towards work and
high level authorities and many such. Loss of customers can also happen due to presence of
stressors inside the organization. Stress lead to irritated and argumentative behaviour in the
employees, thus creating major drawbacks for the organization.
Best way to deal with organisational stress
Unclear job expectation, low salary, lack of growth opportunities and lack of social or
organizational support mainly build stress within the employees. Other than organizational
damage, stress can cause many physical harm to the individual, such as, stomach-ache,
headache, sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating and short temper, high blood pressure,
insomnia and also harm the immunity system. Therefore, the organization need to focus on
realising the individual stress, thus maintaining the business goal and objectives.
Implementing successful communication strategies and providing employees with the means
of expressing the issues that continuously bother them may act as better solution (Harr,
2013). In addition, conducting regular performance reviews, providing career development
options and a sense of autonomy in the jobs can release the workplace stress in a wider level.
