Abstract

Stress, as a dominant feature of the modern society, represents a serious problem for numerous organizations as it has significant effects on their business results. The aim of this paper is to examine and analyze the various sources of stress which employees in service sector organizations face. The key tendency of service sector organizations is to achieve efficiency, cost decrease, income growth, all of which impose high expectations and pressure upon employees. The sources of workplace stress in those organizations are observed from the perspective of job characteristics, organizational context and the employees’ personality traits. A review of key stress factors from above-mentioned perspectives enables a holistic approach to human resource managers, which could be of great importance for setting up a strategy and planned approach to managing workplace stress.
