Do you ever feel stressed while at work?
Have you become cynical or critical about work? Do you find it hard to
concentrate? Being stressed out isn’t fun! But it’s important to remember that
it’s part of a human’s emotional and physiological response. Generally, we
feel overwhelmed when the situation s demands are greater than our ability to
cope we get stressed.
For example, A Person who is confident and comfortable
speaking in public may not worry about giving a presentation, while someone
who isn t confident in their skills may definitely feel a lot more stress
about the upcoming presentation which further might create performance
anxiety.
However, stress isn’t always bad a little bit of stress can mostly help one to
stay focused, energetic, and able to meet new challenges in the workplace.
It’s what keeps a person on their toes during a presentation or alert to
prevent accidents or costly mistakes.
Considering today’s hectic world, the corporate workplace too often seems like
an emotional roller coaster. Long hours, tight deadlines, and ever-increasing
demands can leave you feeling worried, drained, and overwhelmed. And when
stress exceeds your ability to cope, it stops being helpful and starts causing
damage to your mind and body on the contrary. Following this, your job
satisfaction goes down along with the motivation to work.
Common burnout of corporate workplace stress could be :
-
Lack of control An inability to influence decisions that
affect your job — such as your schedule, assignments or workload — could
lead to job burnout. So could a lack of the resources you need to do your
work.
-
Unclear job expectations If you re unclear about the
degree of authority you have or what your supervisor or others expect from
you, you re not likely to feel comfortable at work.
-
Dysfunctional workplace dynamics Perhaps you work with an
office bully, or you feel undermined by colleagues or your boss
micromanages your work. This can contribute to job stress.
-
Extremes of activity When a job is monotonous or chaotic,
you need constant energy to remain focused — which can lead to fatigue and
job burnout.
-
Lack of social support If you feel isolated at work and
in your personal life, you might feel more stressed.
Workplace stress is harmful at times when there are physical and emotional
responses that can happen when there is a conflict between job demands on the
employee and the amount of control an employee has over meeting these demands.
However, for maintaining a good workplace balance one should establish some
work-life boundaries for oneself. Introducing these boundaries will create a
balanced work-life relationship. Take time off for hobbies and give importance
to your body and mind, self-care releases stress making one more resilient.
