Abstract [English]

In today’s tough economic times, many managers and business owners face a lot of challenges at work, which can lead to stress. Work-related stress is becoming a bigger concern because it can affect a company financially. While some stress is normal, too much stress can affect productivity, health, and emotions, and it needs to be managed properly. When people lose confidence, avoid responsibilities, get easily irritated, or feel disappointed with their job, their performance drops, and this can harm the company.

Fortunately, most managers and business owners know how to spot the signs of stress and how to manage it before it affects their employees' work. Stress can affect both the organization and the people working in it, so being able to handle stress can be the key to whether a job succeeds or fails.

This paper looks at how managers and business owners in Indian National County view stress. It explores whether they feel stressed, whether they use methods to reduce stress, and if they think stress can impact how well their company performs.
