1. INTRODUCTION
The intrinsic aspects to the job include prolonged working hours, excessive work load,
limitation in time, complicated tasks, lack of intervals, shortage of difference in choice of work,
and worst work conditions like inadequate space, temperature and lighting facility. These tend
to pessimistic results in achieving the objectives of the enterprise and procuring the
requirements of the employees. Work environment originates the social and psychological
stress that produces harmful impacts on the well-being of the employees. Stress is always a
disabling human phenomenon. Stress at work has detrimental effect on the behaviour of the
people, which results in personal and Organisational inefficiency. Occupational stress is a
condition where work related responsibilities costs the employees to change his/her nature
compelled to deviate from its actual characteristics. Due to rise in technology advancements
and aggravating competitive scenario among nations and corporate enterprises stress has
become pervasive.
The enterprises have to update their knowledge and skill in information technology on the
one hand and enhance flexible responses to market change on the other. The alternative for the
development, endurance and remain ahead in business requires quick adaption to quick
changing client solicitation and conditions. Therefore, the supervisors and staff are pressurized
for mechanical accomplishments, benefit thought processes and efficiency and at times
conventional business practices and agreements are supplanted by impermanent specialists and
contractor. Challenge, anxiety have in this manner passed on to the workforce on the loose.
Representatives presently need to face and adapt to poor working conditions, expanded time
weight and long working hours because of narrowing cutoff times and expanded outstanding
task at hand, simultaneously staying alert that employments are never again steady and the work
is getting to be dubious. Hierarchical pressure has expansive impact on physical and emotional
wellness, joy and life fulfillment.

2. CHARACTERISTICS OF STRESS

3. CAUSES FOR STRESS


The causes of stress are highly individualistic. It depends on the personality general outlook on
life, problem solving abilities, and social support system. Many different things cause stress
from physical to emotional.
Threat: A perceived threat will lead a person to feel stressed. This can include physical threats,
social threats, and financial threats. Any threat to needs is likely to lead to stress.
Fear: Threat can lead to fear which again leads to stress. Fear leads to imagined outcomes
which are the real source of stress.
Uncertainty: If one is uncertain, one is unable to predict, and therefore feel out of control and
hence may feel fear and threatened. This leads to stress.
Cognitive Dissonance: When there is a gap between what one does and what one thinks, there
is cognitive dissonance and feel stressed. Dissonance also occurs when one cannot meet
commitments and the possibility of being perceived as dishonest or incapable.
Life causes: There are many causes of stress in life like death, ill health victim of crime, self-
abuse, family change, sexual problems argument, physical change, moving to new location,
financial crisis, environment and increase in responsibility.
Frustrations: These are obstacles that prevent a person or achieving personal goals. They may
be external (discrimination) or internal (physical handicap, lack of desired ability or trait).
Conflicts: It involves two or more incompatible needs or goals, the choice between two
desirable options, or decision involving disagreeable alternations.
Pressures: Stress can stem from expectations of others or demands placed on one. Pressure to
get good grades is one among them. Survival stress is common response to danger in all people
and animals. When one is afraid that someone or something may physically hurt him or her,
this leads to stress.
Environment: It is a response to things around that cause stress like noise, crowding, pressure
from work/ family.
Fatigue and Overwork: This kind of stress builds up over a long time and takes a hard toll. It
can be caused by working too much or too hard at jobs or at home. It is also caused by not
knowing how to manage the time well and take time for rest and relaxation.

4. OCCUPATIONAL STRESS
Stress at work place is a result or reaction to specific upgrades in the earth. These days, work
pressure has turned out to be increasingly clear and prompts low confidence of representatives.
The foundations for employment stress can be ascribed to mechanical changes, focused ways
of life and different other social elements. Occupational stress is a twofold edged sword, it very
well may be both gainful and counter-beneficial. It tends to be beneficial when it encourages or
inspires individuals to work more and perform well. It will enable them to investigate openings
and prompts improved employment efficiency. It very well may be counter-beneficial when
outer components make more strain to work however doesn't prompt solid result. Occupational
stress is winning in each worker's everyday life and it impacts their activity execution. The
activity stress can happen because of a few elements like exhaust, outstanding task at hand, low
pay rates, absence of motivators, inspiration at work, acknowledgment and so on.
Organizational stress can emerge out of an assortment of sources and influence individuals
in various manners. In spite of the fact that the connection between psycho-social parts of the
activity and the wellbeing and prosperity of labourers has been all around reported, constrained
work has been done on the impacts of unmistakable stressors on employment execution. Also,
different defensive elements can avoid or lessen the impacts of work pressure, and little research

https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJM 4276 editor@iaeme.com


Conceptual Model Fit for Impact of Occupational Stress on Performance and Satisfaction of the
Employees with Special Reference to Private Sector Banks in Thanjavur District

has been done toward understanding these relieving individual and authoritative components.
Significant employment stress elements influencing work execution are Workload, Job
security, Autonomy, Role clashes, Shift work, Low pay rates, Technology change, Low
assurance and Lack of acknowledgment. These are a portion of the variables influencing
representatives' activity execution. Authoritative pressure can create strain which is
inconvenient for the HR in the association. It has negative financial ramifications, for example,
low quality of work, low profitability, truancy and so on.
Stress straightforwardly influences worker execution. Stress prompts badly sequenced
effect on execution. This is in light of the fact that representatives who work in extremely
upsetting conditions may get handled on worn and disheartened. They furthermore make
physical and mental issue, for instance, hypertension, hearing issue and mental issue. These
mental and physical issues impact the exhibition of the labourers just as impact the effectiveness
of the affiliation. Various researchers have contemplated that some degree of stress is
imperative for physical and mental improvement. Hence, due to some pressure, individuals end
up being dynamically creative, imaginative and alert. They adjust new capacities and data to
adjust up to troublesome conditions.
These are sure conditions to produce the affirmation of representative and vanity. This kind
of positive pressure is called as eustress. On the other hand, elevated level of pressure causes
annoying and shocking conditions that make physical and mental disturbances and it is known
as pain. Therefore, one can say that low degree of stress causes adverse outcomes, for instance,
nonappearance of motivation, nonattendance of interest and gets pessimistic impact on benefit
of affiliation and moderate element of stress makes alluring and good conditions that help the
individuals to upgrade the exhibition of work and the proficiency of the affiliation.

5. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Chand and Sethi (1997) in their study inspected authoritative factors as indicators of occupation
related strain (JRS). The respondents were 150 officials at the lesser administration level
working in different financial foundations in Himachala Pradesh state. The examination
uncovered huge positive connection between employments identified with pressure and job
over-burden, job struggle and strenuous working condition. The relationship of other
hierarchical factors were additionally in the normal heading, yet were not huge. Job strife,
strenuous working conditions and job over-burden were seen as the most critical indicators of
employment related pressure.
Oke et. al. (2008) in an investigation of ten Banking Organizations Nigeria, quantitative
information were caught utilizing a study instrument and subjective information were gathered
through a progression of semi-organized meeting plan. The analysts utilized double strategies
way to deal with examine work environment stress and a key finding was that worker
experience of pressure reflects both individual attributes just as progressively aggregate
characteristics that are molded by relevant components. Results demonstrated that work spot
pressure had a powerless backwards association with culture (- 0.24), positive association with
age (0.22), a reverse association with instruction level (- 0.01) and a feeble positive association
with number of years working in the bank (0.05). These discoveries showed that negative view
of the way of life inside associations add to work spot pressure.
Hansez et al, (2008).The specialists have researched the activity commitment, work strain,
burnout, work-home impedance and employment stress factors among 216 Belgian veterinary
specialists. Rustic practice was contrasted with little creature and blended action. The mean
employment strain and occupation commitment level in veterinary specialists was not higher
than what they found in other working populaces. Be that as it may, 15.6 % of the gatherings

https://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJM 4277 editor@iaeme.com


C. Sangeetha and R. Mohanraj

were seen as experiencing high burnout. Rustic experts had a lower level of employment
commitment than little creature veterinary specialists. These little creature professionals had a
lower level of occupation strain than the blended specialists. The degree of burnout didn't
contrast altogether over the three kinds of movement. In contrast with other Belgian
furthermore, Dutch specialists, veterinary specialists saw increasingly negative work home
obstruction. Cow-like and blended experts were the most worried about this issue. The two
most significant wellsprings of stress detailed by cow-like experts were relations to ranchers
and working time the executives (counting crises and accessibility).
Selye (2006) says that stress is a nonspecific response of the body to a demand. If an
employee gets a work load than they can handle, they will get stress. But the level of stress is
differing from employee to employee. If the stress is continuing for a longer period it will lead
to mental, physical and behavioral problems. Based on a research done in Sri Lanka (Opatha,
2011), addiction to smoking and drinking may be a result of stress. Even though sometimes,
stress has a positive effect for employees all the time when they extent their limit, they get
negative results. Each employee will get stress at any point in their job. When a person gets a
stressful situation frequently, he/she will not be able to cope with the situation. Work place
pressure will help employees to keep motivated and learn. But individual differences and
available resources will change the employee’s cope up level and make him/her stressful.
Yuting Chen et. al (2017) this investigation showed that, notwithstanding wounds and risky
occasions, job-related stress is normal in the development business. Security atmosphere was
affirmed to be related with less physical wellbeing results and with less job-related stresses.
Results likewise recommend that individual versatility influences one's capacity to oversee job-
related stress. These discoveries feature the job of hierarchical factors just as individual factors
in influencing singular wellbeing performance and mental prosperity. Given these discoveries,
development associations need to screen workers' wellbeing performance as well as their
mental prosperity. Advancing a positive wellbeing atmosphere together with creating preparing
projects concentrating on improving workers' mental wellbeing, particularly post-injury mental
wellbeing, can improve the associations' security performance.
Abdul Haeba Ramli (2018) examined Occupational stress has a negative and huge effect on
authoritative duty. This outcome demonstrates that representative pledge to the association or
organization will be found, if the organization can focus on the work stress of its
representatives. With this negative and huge impact demonstrates that high work stress will
make authoritative duty be low, however then again if work stress can be diminished, it will
make representatives to build their promise to the association, so they will work truly and truly
to improve its performance.
Putu Irma Yunita A, Gusti Ngurah Widya Hadi Saputra (2019) explained “the twenty to
thirty year olds have special qualities, because of the administration cautious in dealing with
their workers. Their temperament is autonomous, effectively exhausted, yet simple to adjust to
change, an extreme test for human asset the executives, in completing the elements of HR. It
inspects the connection between transformations with work stress and the apparent exhibition
of millennial age representatives, appears proof that, all inclusive, millennial representatives
like organization approaches as far as changes. It is prove the increasingly visit transformations
completed the better the representative's exhibition, despite the fact that toward the start of the
position. It is brought about by mental stress for workers with the goal that representatives
experience gentle stress. The adjustment anyway in the new condition will make feel awkward
for certain individuals, including twenty to thirty year olds. This awkward condition can
diminish representative execution. It in this way can be finished up changes because
representatives to feel stressed. It will affect execution debasement. On the off chance that

changes anyway on the other hand fulfill workers, at that point an expansion in execution will
happen.”

6. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM


With the point of accomplishing higher profitability the associations wind up producing the
representatives with over-burden of work so as to comply with time constraint and this may
have mental and physical impacts on the workers which may bring about something as opposed
to what these associations need to accomplish. In spite of the fact that institutions are giving
more consideration these days reacting to the outcomes of the injury their employees experience
when they place phenomenal requests on them, there is still more opportunity to get better.
Globalization and privatization have brought new work needs, work instability, uncertainty
with respect to future working conditions and prompt out of date quality of job techniques.
The development of computer technology and data innovation is one of the most
overwhelming components in the regularly evolving work-life today. Profitability,
effectiveness and minimal effort are the focal point of the audience issues of any corporate.
Overseeing pressure is a zone to be engaged to address the huge high whittling down rate in the
vehicle business.
The work culture in the organizations influences the emotional well-being and the personal
satisfaction of the workers. Implementation of new technology innovation and computerization
into the workplace includes burden for the employees to accustom within the enterprise.
Subsequently it is fundamental to distinguish the impacts of Occupational stress among the
Bank employees of the Private Sector Banks, organization chosen for the study.

7. RESEARCH DESIGN
The role of research has greatly increased in the field of business and economy. The study of
research methods provides us with the knowledge and skills you need to solve the problems
and meet the challenges of today’s modern pace of development. The usefulness and
contribution of research in assisting management decisions is so crucial that it has given rise to
the opening of a new field altogether called ‘research methodology’. Research in common
context refers to a search for knowledge. It can also be defined as a scientific and systematic
search for gaining information and knowledge on a specific topic or phenomena. It requires a
strong base to research, and it leads to a reliable as well as valid interpretations. In this sense,
the research methodology acts as a basement of any type of research. A qualitative research
study is undergone in the natural settings, by making sense of or interpreting phenomena in
terms of the meanings people bring to them. On this issue of sense-making, it is understood that
the qualitative research has an interpretive characteristic which aims at discovering the
meanings of the events for the individuals who experience them, and the interpretations of those
meanings by the researcher will be the outcomes or product of the research.

9. CONCLUSION
This study has analysed the relationship between perceived occupational stress of employees in
private sector banks in thanjavur district and their levels of job performance. Job performance
and job satisfaction were also found to be having high levels of impacts. Further the employee’s
personality characteristics instigated by motivational factors were seen to influence the
relationship between various occupational stressors and their job efficiency, job performance
and job satisfaction. The results of the study have indicated that employees manifest high levels
of occupational stress. Excessive work related stress is bound to adversely affect the
performance of the employees. Motivation is an identified major tool that helps in reducing
work related stress and excessive job dissatisfaction. The major implication of the study is that
