Connection of Stress and Job Satisfaction to Successful Organizational Stress Management: A Literature Review

Abstract

Various empirical research results prove that stress directly negatively affects job satisfaction. This proves that employee work stress determines an employee's job satisfaction level because work stress is a condition of tension that creates a physical and psychic imbalance that affects an employee's emotions, and thinking process; excessive stress can threaten an employee's ability to deal with their work environment and will ultimately interfere with the performance of employees duties. Work stress can be seen as a depressing feeling or feeling depressed that employees experience in the face of their work; overall excessive work stress will lower employee job satisfaction levels.
