LITERATURE REVIEW

Introduction:
Stress is a widespread concern in contemporary culture. The result of stress is a departure
from the normal physical state of human existence. Stress is seen as an inevitable side
effect of worker productivity. According to physical sciences, all materials exhibit the
phenomenon of stress when they are subjected to “force, pressure, strain, or strong-front,”
however the heating stage of forged metals has its own limit for how much stress it can
withstand before becoming damaged.

Title of the study :


A Study on Employees Stress Management and Its Impact on Their Productivity at Maini
Precision Products Limited, Bangalore.

Review of literature
1. Kim E [Link] (2023) ‘A Study on Model of Psychotherapy Narration Focused on Mental
Well-Being for Stress Management in the Elderly’. This study recommended
psychotherapy narrative as a way to improve the mental health of the elderly by
combining person-centred treatment, positive psychology and cognitive behavioural
therapy. Postmodern psychotherapy strategies based on diverse psychological ideas
or procedures have begun to be more commonly used in addition to existing
mainstream psychotherapeutic methods. This study created a postmodern
psychotherapy narrative and validated it by analysing elderly contentment with the
relevant emotion. According to the elderly’s stressful situations and emotions, this
satisfaction analysis study discovered the value of the psychotherapy-narrative
model. This research could serve as the foundation for a postmodernist-
psychotherapy narrative for the elderly. As a result, future-oriented development and
research on the diversity of the aged and the consequences of each storytelling are
critical, based on the model of this study. This research has provided mental self-
sufficiency to individuals who require psychotherapy in the future.

2. Guimaraes T T (2023) ‘Stress Management: from Sports Science to People


Management. Revista Intercontinental de Gestapo Deportivo-RIGD’ In this context,
monitoring the effect of chronic stress is critical, but there is no agreement on which
techniques to employ due to inaccuracy, challenging interpretations, and
inconclusions. As a result, the goal of this study is to convey conceptual information
about stress, its involvement in the development of chronic fatigue, as well as to
highlight limitations, gaps, and future perspectives on monitoring options. Examples
from exercise and sport sciences were utilized to build arguments and provide
potential solutions. It is believed that the understanding knowledge would direct
actions in various areas of professional activity, favouring human resource
management.

3. Goodwin A M & [Link] (2023) ‘Protocol for Randomized Personalized Trial for Stress
Management Compared to Standard of Care. Frontiers in Psychology’. Stress
management approaches include a variety of evidence-based treatments that have
been found to be beneficial but with variable treatment responses, showing a lack of
universal benefits for all individuals. For three therapies to manage perceived stress,
this trial will compare a tailored approach to standard of care. The primary analysis
will compare stress levels in the tailored and standard of care arms. The findings of
this experiment will provide more support for the use of customised designs for stress
management.

4. Ramos-Galarza and [Link] (2019) This study aims to examine how occupational
stress affects worker productivity within the textile production industry. By using a
quantitative, cross-sectional and non-experimental approach, the research seeks to
explain the negative impact that stress levels have on productivity in this labour
context.

5. Antoni M H & Dhabhar F S (2019) ‘The impact of psychosocial stress and stress
management on immune responses in patients with cancer’. The overview contains
molecular, cellular and clinical research that focuses on the effects of stress
processes and stress-management strategies on immunological variables that may
or may not change in response to cancer or its treatment. Basic
psychoneuroimmunology research on stress processes provides avenues for further
investigation into biobehavioural processes that may underpin the found
relationships. In the future, the development of theoretically driven and empirically
supported stress-management therapies could be crucial adjuncts to clinical cancer
care.
6. Hermanto B and [Link] (2018) This research investigates the effect of job
characteristics on job satisfaction and its subsequent impact on employee
performance, focusing on cooperatives in Solo, Central Java. Amid challenges like
high employee turnover, the study employs quantitative methods with a descriptive
approach, collecting data through questionnaires and interviews. The analysis,
conducted using Smart PLS, reveals that while job characteristics have a positive but
not significant effect on employee performance, they positively and significantly
influence job satisfaction, which in turn positively and significantly impacts
employee performance.

7. Wahyudi and [Link] (2018) This study examines the impact of workload on job
satisfaction within the Sustainability and Operation Department of an oil palm
cultivation and harvesting company in Indonesia. Utilizing the NASA-TLX tool, the
workload was assessed across mental, physical, and temporal demands, as well as
performance, effort and frustration. Job satisfaction was measured through a
questionnaire covering factors such as superiors’ support, colleague assistance,
remuneration, and promotion. The results indicated that the workload was relatively
high, primarily due to frequent overtime and extensive domestic travel. The study
found a correlation between workload and job satisfaction, with both positive and
negative models: high workload can either enhance or diminish job satisfaction. To
alleviate workload, the study suggests implementing an information system and
database to reduce difficulties in data access, which contributes to excessive
overtime.

8. Ajayi S. (2018) made a research ‘Study on Effect of Stress on Employee Performance’.

this is frequently beneficial; nonetheless, there will be significant differences to
pressure in different conditions to worker. The major goal of the study is to understand
the impact of stress on employee performance.

9. Hoboubi N and [Link] 2017 This study investigates the relationship between job
stress, job satisfaction, and productivity among 125 randomly selected employees of
an Iranian petrochemical company. Data were collected using the Osipov
Occupational Stress Questionnaire, the Job Descriptive Index, and the Hersey and
Goldsmith Productivity Questionnaire. The findings suggest that to reduce job stress
and enhance job satisfaction and productivity, corrective measures are needed,
particularly in improving the shift work system, addressing role insufficiency and role
ambiguity, and increasing supervisor support.

10. Dunk, A.S. (2017) This study aims to investigate experimentally whether
environmental management accounting has an effect on the relationship between
competitive advantage and product quality. These results provide credence to the
idea that environmental management accounting matters greatly in businesses. In
particular, the study’s findings imply that when a company heavily relies on
environmental management accounting, product quality helps it maintain a
competitive edge.

In textile production, occupational stress negatively impacts worker productivity through a cross-sectional, non-experimental examination of stress levels, which highlights the correlation with reduced productivity . Conversely, in financial organizations, stress significantly influences performance due to factors like job difficulty, peer competition, and economic pressure, as shown by multiple regression analyses . Both industries reveal that stress decreases productivity, but the specific stressors and their significance vary between the contexts.

In Central Java cooperatives, job characteristics positively influence job satisfaction, which in turn significantly impacts employee performance despite not directly affecting performance . In Iranian petrochemical companies, job stress affects performance through issues with shift work, role insufficiency, and supervisor support, requiring corrective measures to enhance job satisfaction and productivity . While job satisfaction is crucial in both contexts, the pathways through which it impacts performance differ, influenced by stress factors or job characteristics.

Short-term stress is generally beneficial as it triggers adaptive responses and enhances performance through improved concentration and energy level . However, chronic stress leads to harmful effects such as fatigue, decreased immunity, and reduced productivity . The inability to 'switch off' stress responses differentiates chronic stress by maintaining prolonged tension that affects overall health and performance.

Environmental management accounting strengthens the connection between competitive advantage and product quality by focusing resources on areas that provide eco-efficiency and cost-effectiveness . When organizations prioritize environmental accounting, they can maintain product quality while also supporting sustainable practices, thus securing a competitive advantage.

The study underscores the importance of implementing information systems to alleviate workload by providing easier access to data, thereby reducing overtime and domestic travel demands . By optimizing data access through technology, companies can lower stress levels associated with high workload, ultimately enhancing job satisfaction.

Psychoneuroimmunology insights lead to stress-management therapies that address the intersection of psychological stress and immune system responses in cancer patients. The approach advocates developing therapies supported by empirical evidence, integrating biobehavioral research findings to enhance clinical cancer care . This understanding offers new pathways for creating stress-management interventions that can potentially improve treatment outcomes by targeting psychophysiological processes.

For the elderly, psychotherapy narratives incorporating positive psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy are most recommended. These methods improve mental health by offering supportive, person-centered treatments that help manage emotions and promote mental well-being . This approach fosters mental self-sufficiency and satisfaction among the elderly.

The psychotherapy narrative for the elderly emphasizes person-centered treatment by integrating positive psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy. This approach is used to improve mental health through postmodern psychotherapy strategies, focusing on personalized narratives and emotional contentment . In contrast, stress management within sports science lacks consensus on techniques due to varying accuracy and interpretations. It focuses on conceptual information about stress, especially how chronic stress relates to fatigue, and seeks solutions applicable to human resource management through sport science examples .

Significant factors affecting job satisfaction included role insufficiency and ambiguity, inadequate supervisor support, and the challenges of shift work. These were addressed by recommending corrective measures to improve shift schedules and strengthen role clarity and supervisor relationships . Enhancements in these areas were proposed to reduce job stress and increase satisfaction and productivity.

To ensure stress remains beneficial in competitive environments, organizations should develop adaptive stress management strategies such as brief recharging breaks, skills training for emotional regulation, and promoting a supportive work culture . Encouraging a balance between challenge and skill level can also help employees maintain focus and performance, preventing chronic stress-related declines.
