Prof Dr.C.Karthikeyan Director

Abstract: Occupational stress is inevitable for every level of working poplulation in all
industrial sectors even if it is a coveted positon of a CEO/Chairman. This continued distress at
the workplace, brings in psychological and physiological dysfunctions and indirectly hits on the
motivation of the Individual. It brings down the morale and prevents the worker from excelling
in their position. In modern digitalised and highly networked nature of occupations, the levels of
job stress are increasing exponentially and this happens despite technological sophistication and
ergonomical efforts to make the work place comfortable. The lower awareness level on
occupational stress and its sequel represent the majority of work-related illnesses causing missed
work days. Those in the protective services, transportation,materials moving, building grounds
cleaning, maintenance, and healthcare are more susceptible to both work injuries and illnesses, as
well as work-related stress. Improvisation on findings of Occupational stress is gaining attention
among Occupational Psychologists and is trickling down challenges to HR specialists of all
sectors.
