Role of Strees on Worklife Balance of Entrepreneurs Gender based Compartive Study

Abstract

A stressful situation arises when a person feels overwhelmed by pressure, reaching a point where managing it becomes unfeasible. Essentially, stress results from the interplay between individuals and their environments, and it largely depends on how individuals respond to varying situational pressures. newlineIn today s competitive landscape, the levels of stress among individuals are rising with market competition. While job-related stress is the most common source, it is important to distinguish between everyday life stressors and those originating from work. Individuals often experience a combination of both, leading to difficulties in managing personal and professional demands. newlineThe contemporary business environment has shifted away from the traditional nine to five model, undergoing significant transformations due to globalization, liberalization, technological advancements, and the rise of the private sector. These changes have resulted in longer working hours, heightened expectations, and increased pressure, contributing to work overload and workplace stress. newlineStress can occur from numerous sources, including individual factors, family dynamics, and workplace challenges such as conflicting demands, inadequate supervision, excessive workloads, pay disparities, interpersonal conflicts, ineffective communication, and lack of management support. In this context, work-life balance plays a critical role in mitigating stress and establishing effective organizational strategies that promote job satisfaction without undue pressure. newline
