Nowadays,
we hardly enjoy our work for one reason or the other. This is the reason that
stress is becoming more and more pronounced. Research has shown that people with
high role efficacy seem to experience less role stress, anxiety, and work related
tension. They rely on their own strengths to cope with problems by the use of
more purposeful behavior. They are active and interact with people and the environment,
persist in solving problems, mostly by themselves and sometimes by taking the
help of other people show growth orientation, attitudinal commitment, feel satisfied
with life, with their jobs and role in the organization. Role efficacy is also
related to the type of roles, location of workplace, length of employment, and
age. A climate promoting concern for excellence, use of expertise and concern
for the larger issues also contributes to the role efficacy.
According
to a latest study on stress levels in the Indian corporate sector, more than 50%
of the working people have stress and one of the key results is impairment of
work efficiency seen in 44% of the people.
For
those taking the workplace load and tension as a fait accompli, it is difficult
to even understand what we are talking about. According to Samir Parikh, Consultant
Psychiatrist with Mental Health and Behavioral Sciences Department, Max Healthcare,
New Delhi, "a healthy work environment is the key to the company's success,
but in most cases stress is dominating, resulting in decline of individual productivity.
Stress in the workplace is one of the leading problems in today's hectic society.
It creates innumerable health issues resulting in decreased productivity, decreased
corporate profits, and increased absenteeism." |
