LITERATURE SURVERY According to Richard S Lazarus, Stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize.

According to Bernik, Brazilian psychiatrist, 1997, "Stress designates the aggression itself, leading to discomfort, or the consequences of it. It is our organisms response to a challenge, be it right or wrong. According to Sauter and Murphy, 1999, Occupational stress can be defined as the "harmful physical and emotional responses that occur when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities, resources or need of the worker". According to T. Cox (1998) and Basingstoke Macmillan, Stress, it is argued, can only be sensibly defined as a perceptual phenomenon arising from a comparison between the demand on the person and his or her ability to cope. An imbalance in this mechanism, when coping is important, gives rise to the experience of stress, and to the stress response. According to S. Palmer (1989), Stress is the psychological, physiological and behavioral response by an individual when they perceive a lack of equilibrium between the demands placed upon them and their ability to meet those demands, which, over a period of time, leads to ill-health According to Macmillan Education, Stress is defined as an organism's total response to environmental demands or pressures. When stress was first studied in the 1950s, the term was used to denote both the causes and the experienced effects of these pressures. One recurrent disagreement among researchers concerns the definition of stress in humans. According to Psychology, Stress can be defined as a cause: mental, physical, or social, force or pressure that puts real or perceived demands on the body, emotions, mind, or spirit, and which, when it exceeds the stress-handling capacity of the individual lead to a breakdown. As an effect: physiological effect produced in an organism in its attempts to cope called adaptive response with the demands created by a stressor. According to Engineering, Load (force) per unit area that tends to deform the body on which it acts. Compressive stress tends to squeeze a body, tensile stress to stretch (extend) it, and shear stress to cut it. Human issues in call-center industry

Stress: For many employed in the call center sector, "the daily experience is of repetitive, intensive and stressful work, based upon Taylorist principles, which frequently results in employee "burnout". Brown, more vividly, characterizes the work as "repetitive brain strain". These descriptions are hardly surprising, in a way, given that call centers are established by organizations to "create an environment in which work can be standardized to create relatively uniform and repetitious activities so as to achieve economies of scale and consistent quality of customer service". This means, in other words, that workplaces are organized in ways that weaken employee autonomy and enhance the potential for management control, and "a loss of control is generally understood to be an important indicator of work-related stress". There is almost universal consensus that call center work is stressful. Even in studies that report the observation that some staff actually enjoys their work, mention of stress is still the norm, and a significant portion of the call center literature is devoted to detailing the sources of stress in call center work. Some other Human Issues, in Call-Centers, which need Immediate Attention, are: Sleeping Disorders Digestive System Related Disorders Depression Severe Stomach Related Problems Eyesight Problems Ear Problems Remedial Measures for Stress Management Understanding that the "Stress" is a major concern for all Call-Center Employees, it is a duty of HR-heads of CallCenters to address it properly. Some of the common signs and symptoms of stress Although we all experience stress in different ways, there are certain signs that are most frequently reported. These signs fall into two major categories; physical/behavioral signs and emotional signs. If we become aware of our own stress symptoms, we will be more effective in dealing with them sooner rather than later. What follows is a list of some of the most

experienced symptoms of stress. The physical/behavioral symptoms include; muscular tension, muscle spasms and tics, rapid heart beat, shortness of breath and high blood pressure, cold hands and feet, backaches, headaches and neck aches, stomach problems, indigestion, irritable bowel and ulcers, feeling fatigued, irritable, decreased ability to concentrate, insomnia and changes in eating behavior. Since these physical symptoms may be related to physical problems, you should consult with your medical doctor before you assume that your symptoms are purely stressrelated. The emotional symptoms include; anxiety in a variety of situations not limited to the stressful situation, depression, hopelessness and a strong urge to cry without specific incident, withdrawal from social interactions and avoidance of previously enjoyed activities, powerlessness and decreased self esteem, hostility, anger and resentment, fears, phobias and unwanted thoughts. Learning to become more aware of your own stress symptoms is the first major step in the stress management and healing process. It is often helpful to monitor your daily symptoms in a stress diary where you match the stressful events with the symptom experienced. For example; you made find that if you are stuck in early morning traffic you may experience irritability and headaches. In this case it will be important to use these symptoms as a cue that you have to begin managing that stress more effectively when it happens. Research Methodology The nature of the study was Descriptive type; the research focuses mainly on defining a problem, discovering new ideas and providing insights into the problem.

Introduction :A lot of research has been conducted into stress over the last hundred years. Some of the theories behind it are now settled and accepted; others are still being researched and debated. During this time, there seems to have been something approaching open warfare between competing theories and definitions: Views have been passionately held and aggressively defended

hat complicates this is that intuitively we all feel that we know whatstress is, as it is something we have all experienced. A definition should thereforebe obviousexcept that it is not. Definition: Hans Selye was one of the founding fathers of stress research. Hisview in 1956 was that stress is not necessarily something bad it all dependson how you take it. The stress of exhilarating, creative successful work isbeneficial, while that of failure, humiliation or infection is detrimental. Selyebelieved that the biochemical effects of stress would be experienced irrespectiveof whether the situation was positive or negative.Since then, a great deal of further research has been conducted, andideas have moved on. Stress is now viewed as a "bad thing", with a range of harmful biochemical and long-term effects. These effects have rarely beenobserved in positive situations.The most commonly accepted definition of stress (mainly attributed toRichard S Lazarus) is that stress is a condition or feeling experienced whena person perceives that demands exceed the personal and socialresources the individual is able to mobilize.

2.3) what is Stress? Stress refers to the strain from the conflict between our external environment andus, leading to emotional and physical pressure. In our fast paced world, it isimpossible to live without stress, whether you are a student or a working adult.There is both positive and negative stress, depending on each individuals uniqueperception of the tension between the two forces. Not all stress is bad. For 13

example, positive stress, also known as eustress, can help an individual tofunction at optimal effectiveness and efficiency.Hence, it is evident that some form of positive stress can add more color andvibrancy to our lives. The presence of a deadline, for example, can push us tomake the most of our time and produce greater efficiency. It is important to keepthis in mind, as stress management refers to using stress to our advantage, andnot on eradicating the presence of stress in our lives.On the other hand,

negative stress can result in mental and physical strain. Theindividual will experience symptoms such as tensions, headaches, irritability andin extreme cases, heart palpitations. Hence, whilst some stress may be seen asa motivating force, it is important to manage stress levels so that it does not havean adverse impact on your health and relationships.Part of managing your stress levels include learning about how stress can affectyou emotionally and physically, as well as how to identify if you are performing atyour optimal stress level (OSL) or if you are experiencing negative stress. Thisknowledge will help you to identify when you need to take a break, or perhapsseek professional help. It is also your first step towards developing techniques tomanaging your stress levels.Modern day stresses can take the form of monetary needs, or emotional frictions.Competition at work and an increased workload can also cause greater levels of stress. How do you identify if you are suffering from excessive stress?Psychological symptoms commonly experienced include insomnia, headachesand an inability to focus. Physical symptoms take the form of heart palpitations,breathlessness, excessive sweating and stomachaches.What causes stress? There are many different causes of stress, and that whichcauses stress is also known as a stressor. Common lifestyle stressors includeperformance, threat, and bereavement stressors, to name a few. Performancestressors are triggered when an individual is placed in a situation where he feels 14 a need to excel. This could be during performance appraisals, lunch with theboss, or giving a speech. Threat stressors are usually when the current situationposes a dangerous threat, such as an economic downturn, or from an accident.Lastly, bereavement stressors occur when there is a sense of loss such as thedeath of a loved one, or a prized possession.Thus, there are various stressors, and even more varied methods andtechniques of dealing with stress and turning it to our advantages. In order to doso, we must learn to tell when we have crossed the line from positive to negativestress

.2.5) Stress Management Stress management is the need of the hour. However hard we try to gobeyond a stress situation, life seems to find new ways of stressing us out andplaguing us with anxiety attacks. Moreover, be it our anxiety, mind-bodyexhaustion or our erring attitudes, we tend to overlook causes of stress and theconditions triggered by those. In such unsettling moments we often forget thatstressors, if not escapable, are fairly manageable and treatable. 19

Stress, either quick or constant, can induce risky body-mind disorders.Immediate disorders such as dizzy spells, anxiety attacks, tension,sleeplessness, nervousness and muscle cramps can all result in chronic healthproblems. They may also affect our immune, cardiovascular and nervoussystems and lead individuals to habitual addictions, which are inter-linked withstress.Like "stress reactions", "relaxation responses" and stress managementtechniques are some of the body's important built-in response systems. As arelaxation response the body tries to get back balance in its homeostasis. Somehormones released during the 'fight or flight' situation prompt the body to replacethe lost carbohydrates and fats, and restore the energy level. The knottednerves, tightened muscles and an exhausted mind crave for looseness.Unfortunately, today, we don't get relaxing and soothing situations withoutasking. To be relaxed we have to strive to create such situations. Recognizing a stressor: It is important to recognize whether you are under stress or out of it. Many times,even if we are under the influence of a stressful condition and our body reacts toit internally as well as externally, we fail to realize that we are reacting under stress. This also happens when the causes of stress are there long enough for us to get habituated to them. The body constantly tries to tell us throughsymptoms such as rapid palpitation, dizzy spells, tight muscles or various bodyaches that something is wrong. It is important to remain attentive to suchsymptoms and to learn to cope with the situations. 20

We cope better with stressful situation, when we encounter them voluntarily. Incases of relocation, promotion or layoff, adventurous sports or having a baby, wetend to respond positively under stress. But, when we are compelled into suchsituations against our will or knowledge, more often than not, we wilt at the faceof unknown and imagined threats. For instance, stress may mount when one iscoerced into undertaking some work against one's will. Laughter : Adopting a humorous view towards life's situations can take the edge off everyday stressors. Not being too serious or in a constant alert mode helpsmaintain the equanimity of mind and promote clear thinking. Being able to laughstress away is the smartest way to ward off its effects.A sense of humor also allows us to perceive and appreciate the incongruities of life and provides moments of delight. The emotions we experience directly affectour immune system. The positive emotions can create neurochemical changesthat buffer the immunosuppressive effects of stress.During stress, the adrenal gland releases corticosteroids, which are converted tocortical in the blood stream. These have an immunosuppressive effect. Dr. LeeBerk and fellow researcher Dr. Stanley Tan at Loma Linda University School of Medicine have produced carefully controlled studies showing that the experienceof laughter lowers serum cortical levels, increases the amount and activity of Tlymphocytesthe natural killer cells. Laughter also increases the number of Tcells that have suppresser receptors
