TITLE OF THE STUDY: “A Study of job stress on worklife balance at Just
Lease Infrastructure India Private Limited, Bangalore”.

INTRODUCTION
The term "stress" was first used by the endocrinologist Hans Selye in the 1930s to identify
physiological responses in laboratory animals. He later broadened and popularized the
concept to include the perceptions and responses of humans trying to adapt to the challenges
of everyday life. In Selye's terminology, "stress" refers to the reaction of the organism, and
"stressor" to the perceived threat. Stress in certain circumstances may be experienced
positively. It includes a state of alarm and adrenaline production, short-term resistance as a
coping mechanism, and exhaustion. It refers to the inability of a human or animal body to
respond. Stress is the body‟s response to physical and mental demands. Stress is defined as “a
physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension and may be a
factor in disease causation.”

One type of stress is job stress. It is a type of stress, caused by conditions in the workplace
that negatively affect an individual‟s performance or overall well-being of his body and mind.

Work-related stress is the result of a conflict between the role and needs of an individual
employee and the demands of the workplace. Workers with management responsibilities also
show stress symptoms. Different individuals may react differently to stress and the same
person may react differently to stress at different times. Common stress symptoms include
irritability, muscular tension, inability to concentrate and a variety of physical reactions, such
as headaches and accelerated heart rate.

In our fast paced world, it is impossible to live without stress, whether you are a student or a
working adult. There is both positive and negative stress, depending on each individual‟s
unique perception of the tension between the two forces.

Pressure is part and parcel of all work and helps to keep workers and managers motivated. It
is excessive or uncontrolled pressure which can lead to stress which undermines performance,
is costly to employers and above all can make people ill. Stress is therefore a response to
pressure. To some degree pressure can be beneficial, when it inspires motivation and
commitment, but excessive pressure becomes stress which is harmful and can lead to major
illness, even death. There is no such thing as „good‟ stress.
The work place Makers a variety of demands on employees and too much stress over too long
period of time will that exhaust their ability to cope with the stressors. It is necessary to
realize that stress is an inevitable part of life and it cannot be avoided. Stress may be physical
or mental. Stress may be arising either personally or officially, but the outcome of the Stress
will affect both the work life as well as the personal life at the employees. Work life is
balance is balancing both the work life and personal life.

Work life balance is a method which helps employees of an organization to balance their
personal and professional lives. Work life balance encourages employees to divide their time
on the basis on priorities and maintain a balance by devoting time to family, health, vacations
etc. along with making a career, business travel etc. It is an important concept in the world of
business as it helps to motivate the employees and increases their loyalty towards the
company.

Working on a job for a company and making a career can be an extremely time consuming
duty for any employee. Employees are busy at their offices throughout the day and sometimes
even on weekends. This gives them very little time to interact with their family. Because of
high pressure of work, often family members get neglected. Also, stressful jobs cause the
health of employees to deteriorate. This is where work life balance come into the picture.
Work life balance concept allows an employee to maintain a fine balance in the time he or she
gives to work as well as to personal matters. By having a good balance, people can have a
quality of work life.

This helps to increase productivity at workplace as the employee is relaxed about his personal
commitments. It also allows the employee to give quality time with family to spend vacations,
leisure time, work on his/her health etc. Hence work life balance is extremely important for
employees and increases their motivation to work for the company.

The image depicts a work life balance scenario, where an employee has to balance his/her life
between personal (family, friends & self) and professional (job, career) commitments.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

NEED OF THE STUDY:

Employees are the assets of the organization. The business organizations can achieve
effectiveness only when the employees contribute to the best of the ability. In order to
perform well employees should be able to manage stress and work life balance. But most of
jobs are inherently stressful. It is a challenging task for business organizations and individual
employees to manage stress and work-life balance. Un managed stress is harmful to the
individual and also to the organization .Hence the study is significant from the view point of
business organizations as it provides some suggestions to combat stress and work life balance
effectively.

Job stress is a growing problem around the world that affects not only the health and well-
being of employees, but also the productivity of organisations and it is difficult for the
employees to manage stress and work life balance. Organizations are taking measures to
minimise stress and work life balance with employees. In spite of it, they continue to face
problems. An attempt is made in this study to understand the reasons for Job stress and the
measures taken by the organization to manage stress and work life balance. As a part of the
dissertation work suggestions are offered to solve the problem.
