Sadiya Majid, Afifa Ibrahim

Abstract :

Today, with progress in all respects, women are facing new challenges in different fields where progress in turn creates new problems. Stress has been defined in different ways over the years. It is the psychological and physical state that results when the resources of the individual are not sufficient to cope with the demands and pressures of the situation. Thus, stress is more likely in some than others and in some individuals than others especially women. Stress can be injurious to the achievement of goals, both for individuals and for organizations. Lot of researchers have thrown light over the stress encountered by working women where they experience stress in different ways and for different reasons. The study is undertaken to have a conceptual view regarding stress at workplaces, identifying major stressors at work and effective strategies to deal with the same.
