INTRODUCTION
Stress is a normal phenomenon in the contemporary life. Not that stress is a recent
concept, but still the consequences are vastly different in the modern world. Stress is the
wear and tear of our bodies experience as we adjust to our dynamic environment; it has
physical, Psychological and emotional effects on us and can create positive or negative
emotions. As a positive influence, stress can drive a person towards action. It can result in
a new awareness and an exciting new perspective and such stress is called ‘Eustress’. As
a negative influence, it can result in feelings of distrust rejection, anger and depression
which in turn can lead to health problems such as headaches, upset stomach, rashes,
insomnia, ulcers, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke and such stress is called
‘Distress’.
Optimum stress is essential for performing well in one’s job. But once stress
exceeds a certain limit, it can cause burnout and detrimentally affect work performance.
As organizations become more complex, the potential for stress increases. Urbanization,
industrialization and increase in scale in operations are some of the reasons for rising
stress.
Employees should provide a stress free work environment, recognize where stress
is becoming a problem for staff, and take action to reduces productivity, increases
management pressure and make people ill in many ways, evidence of which is still
increasing. Workplace stress affects the performance of the brain, including functions of
work performance, memory, concentration, and learning. Stress at work also provides a
serious risk of litigation for all employees and organizations, carrying significant
liabilities for damages, bad publicity and loss of reputation. Dealing with stress –related
claims also consumes vast amounts of management time. So there are clearly strong
economic and financial reasons for organizations to manage and reduce stress at work,
aside from the obvious humanitarian and ethical consideration

CONCLUSION
The proprietors as well as the workers provided all the information which is
needed to the study. Through this study, I conduct a clear cut research on the employees
on the basis of stress and satisfaction factors. Employees are the essence of every
organization.
On the basis of the study I can conclude that most employees are satisfied in
working conditions, training and security, monitory benefits etc…. And no one
commented that any problems they faced. Employees have genuinely answered the
questions.
Many of the competitors failed to compete with industry due to quality service,
quality of production etc... now the company becomes the leader in the field in the local
market.
These all gains to this industry are due to an energetic human resource.
