Stress is caused by an imbalance between demands placed on a person and their ability to meet those demands. Sources of stress can come from within an organization like role ambiguity, workload issues, or lack of participation in decision making. Sources can also come from outside the organization like balancing work and family life, health concerns, financial issues, or communication difficulties. Consequences of prolonged stress include physiological issues like headaches and high blood pressure, psychological issues like depression and anxiety, and behavioral issues like poor job satisfaction and absenteeism. Stress management techniques include exercise, meditation, maintaining a balanced schedule, and taking breaks. Effectively managing stress relies on utilizing these stress reduction techniques.

12. Case Study – Activity 1
Rishit, 30, is a Team Leader. He, his wife and a child (Karan)
aged 3, live in Suburban Mumbai and he commutes to Mumbai.
This is his typical day -
6.00 am: Alarm goes and I have an hour to wake up and get
ready. My Wife makes me a packed lunch and I take a
Rickshaw to the station.
6.59am: Catch the train. Usually see friends on the train and
have a chat. The train is supposed to get in at 8.30am allowing
me half an hour to start work at 9.00am but the trains are so
unreliable that I’m late about three times a week. I enjoy most
parts of my job but I get very nervous about giving reports.
There is also the constant pressure of getting my team to work
for extended hours.

13. 7.00pm: Leave work and catch the 7.30pm train. I try to finish any bits
of work before I leave for the day.
9.10pm: I’m home… if the train is on time. My wife has made dinner and
the whole family eats together.
I’m not usually fit for much more than watching TV by this point.
Commuting is the main stressor in my life and late trains make me
furious. I’m aware that my wife has to do most of the housework and
looking after the child – there is always football training and music
lessons to taxi him around to. She also works part time so I do feel
guilty. Fortunately we have a very strong relationship and I try to spend
as much time as possible with my family at weekends.
Questions:
Do you think there is stress in his life?
What is the real cause of stress for him?
Can he manage his stress?
