FRUSTRATION

• FRUSTRATION is a stirred-up state of

hopelessness that result when a person is
prevented from reaching a particular value-
goal to which he has aspired or is prevented
from satisfying his physiological needs.

• Frustration, is simply defined is the

condition of being thwarted in the satisfaction
of a motive.
FRUSTRATION
 PHYSIOLOGICAL
PROBLEM
• These physiological problems more or less are
our basic needs such as food, water, shelter,
sex. Meeting such need is temporary. Once
satisfied, the frustrating feeling is subdueud.
When there is a strong deprivation of these
needs, once experiences an unpleasant
thwarting is circumtances. A disequilibrium
has taking place and when this has been
restored, man reverts to his former self.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS

• One of the most difficult

problem in this area is
one's cultural do's and
don'ts.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS

• The most difficult to resolve

as they are within the inner
feelings of a person..
STRESS

• Stress is the nonspecific psychological

and physiological response of the body
of any demand upon it. According to
Schwartz (1980):
 anything pleasant or unpleasant - that interferes with the
body's equilibrium is a stressor, or source of stress.
Whenever your fired or promote, hit with a brick or
caressed by a lover, you experience stress. Any change,
positive or negative evoke stress.
Major Causes of Stress in
Organizations

• OCCUPATIONAL DEMAND:
Some Jobs are more stressful than
others.
• ROLE AMBIGUITY: Stress from uncertainty. This
occurs when individuals are uncertain about several
matters relating to their jobs. The scope of
responsibilities, how to divide their time between various
duties etc.
• OVERLOAD AND UNDERLOAD: Doing too much or
too little.
Underloads leads to boredom and monotony. "The
hardest job in the world is doing nothing - you can take a
break."
•LACK OF SOCIAL SUPPORT
•LACK OF PARTICIPATION IN
DECISION
•RESPONSIBILITY FOR OTHERS
•EMOTIONAL AND STRESS
REACTION:
BURNOUT
• Burnout is a cumulative
process of gradual
wearing down of your
reserve, with little
recharging of your
energies. It is mental,
physical and emotional
exhaustion. It strikes all
ages, sexes and job
levels, yet the most
frequent victims are
those who seemingly are
in the most productive
years of their life.
 BURNOUT IN
ORGANIZATIONS
• The "hurried executive" or the kind of person who is burnout
prone is often drawn to the fast-moving organizations that would
hasten his/er burning out. The fast-moving achiever who
competently handles all tasks that are given to him/her is rewarded
by having the number of task increased. "No" is a word hardly
used by the perfectionist; therefore he/she continues to handle a
greater than average amount of work. Work overload is a major
contributor to burnout. This concept can be presented in the
following formula:

Susceptible Individual + Overload or Crisis = Burnout.

MENTAL HEALTH
• Mental Health is a matter of degree. There is
no hard and fast line that separate health
from illness. It is not a simple matter to
divide the population into two distinct group
- those who should be institutionalized and
those who should not. Many of us at one
time or another exhibit traits and pattern of
behavior which, if accentuated and
continuous, would necessitate psychiatric
care.
MENTAL HYGIENE

• Mental Hygiene is a branch of psychology which deals with the

mental, behavioral and emotional adjustment through the application of
principles and practices which have some scientific foundation or truth.
There are three known ways to which the principles and practices of
mental hygiene are done.
1. The preventive approach - This is based on the principle that the best
way to ensure a well-adjusted individual is to surround him with
environmental influences that will enable him to develop his full
potentialities, to obatain emotional stability, and achieve personal and
social adequacy.
2.The therapuetic method - concerned with the attempt to
correct minor behavioral adjustment through the varous
counseling and techniques of psychotherapy, or adjust to the
social and/or physical environment of the person in order to help
him obtain the amount of emotional security and self-confidence
necessary.
3.The curative approach - This is sometime called "preventive
psychiatry". It is concerned with the detection and correction of
serious but curative behavioral maladjusments.
