Abstract

Stress is an inescapable corollary of modern living; it is extremely merely, is a built-in circumstance. Individuals are hard-wired to have a physical and mental “stress” response while in front of a professed risk, whether it is actual or not. These hormones remain the body and brain bent, attentive and equipped for retort to the hazardIn fact, stress and clinical depressions are two repeatedly move hand-in-hand pursue family tragedy as the second and third largely major struggle in the place of work.

This study is going to investigate occupational stress and its effects on efficiency of staff members of software and manufacturing industries. Because for the duration of the past decade in Bengaluru, both software and manufacturing industries had under gone rapid and striking changes like policy changes due to globalisation and liberalisation, increased competition due to the entrance of more companies. Due to these changes, the employees in the both are experiencing a high level of stress. The study sought to find out work related stress could affect the efficiency of employees who are working in both software and manufacturing industries in the dispensation of quality tertiary education, and also reveal disturbance of physical health due to stress.. The systematic sampling technique was used to select 80 participants (40 from each industry) for the study, for meeting the purpose of the study Occupational Stress Index (OSI) build by Srivastava and Singh is going to be used in the study. Collected data is to be analyzed through appropriate test.
