provides the means to express talents and energies and pursue happiness on the other side it

can also cause exhaustion and illness, either physically or psychologically.

Symptoms of Stress:

As stated earlier stress is caused by or reaction to the external events and bring about

changes in our response and our general behavior the presence of stress can be estimated by the

analysis of certain symptoms an individual shows. These symptoms can be divided in to three

categories. They are feelings, behavior , physiology.

Feelings:

The individual becomes anxious about the out comes and is scared. The person feels

that he has got something to loose or something wrong will take place.

In an anxious state the person does not want to be correct or interrupted. He looks out

for other areas where he can forget about the stress causing events for a while. The person

becomes irritable and moody.

During high level stress the individual develops a negative a negative frame of mind

and suffer from low self esteem. The person loose faith in his capabilities and is afraid of the

failures. The individual does not have a focused approach and is not able to concentrate and in

involved in his own plans and thoughts.

Causes of Stress

Both positive and negative events in ones life can be stressful. However, major life

changes are the greatest contributors of stress for the most people.

1. If the people have to travel a lot and have to move from place to place, it can cause

47


13/63

Stress.

2. Individuals can also be under stress if they are about to enter some new environment.

They may be going to join a new Organization.

3. Some events, which are generally once in a life time can also cause stress.

There are some major events which undergo stress. They are:

Time pressure

Competition

Financial Problems

Noise

Disappointments

Stress impact:

Stress impact is a research study of long-term absence (LTA) from work due to stress

related health problems. The project will address the following:

1. What characteristics, if any, are shared by the people who are long term absent from the

work for stress related reasons?

2. What factors do people say are important to them in making a decision to take

sickness absence?

3. To what extent does a persons family set-up influence the decision to take sickness

absence or to stay at work?

4. What is the individual perspective, the institutional and professional perspective to

LTA, and how they relate to each other?

48


14/63

Ten factors which are the most important contributors to the employees Stress.

Employees are not being free to talk with another.

Personal conflicts on the job.

Employees not being given enough control over their work.

Inadequate staffing or budgeting.

Management and the employees not talking openly.

Management perceived as being unsupportive.

Below-average sick and vacation benefits.

Having to deal with bureaucratic red tape.

Lack of recognition or reward for doing a good job.

Down shifting:

When we are in a negative emotional state, such as feeling nervous, angry, depressed

out in any way, our brain works less effectively. This process is called is called Down

-Shifting. This plays a very important role in how stress affects employee performance and

vulnerability to accidents and injuries, its important to understand how it gets acted out in the

work place.

Intellectual Downshifting:

When we downshift intellectually, our thinking becomes less creative, our problem-

solving ability diminishes, and our overall ability to process information deteriorates.

One symptom of intellectual down shifting is the deer in the headlights look people

get when they experience information overload. In this overloaded state, their ability to

think literally shuts down.

Psychological downshifting:

49


15/63

Not only does a persons emotional state affect their intellectual functioning , it also

affects their seen adults have temper tantrums or behave in childish ways when they were

stressed out. Other examples of psychological downshifting are throwing or slamming things

around, becoming defensive, acting rebelliously, and interacting with people in childish was

such as mocking, mimicking and pouting.

Sometimes a whole workforce can be psychologically downshifted if the organization

has a negative emotional climate of fear or resentment . one of the most common causes of

such a situation is managers who are disrespectful and/or over controlling. When they act this

way, their workers tend to act more likely to have accidents and injuries because, being in an

adolescent mind-set, they are less likely to listen to safety precautions. They are also more

likely to do just the opposite of what they are told, to prove that no one can tell them what to

do, just like teenagers do.

When we downshift behaviorally, we become rigid and flexible in our responses to

problems and challenges.

When people downshift they are more likely to become:

Fearful of, and resistant to change.

Over reactive to minor hassles, inconveniences and frustrations.

Immature.

Aggressive.

Defensive and Paranoid.

Territorial.

Distrustful of anybody who is different from themselves-seeing the world in an

us versus them way.

Control Freaks.

Power Hungry.

Simplistic in their thinking.

3.1 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The research methodology adopted for the present study has been systematic and was

done in accordance to the objectives set, which has been discussed in the earlier pages.

NATURE OF RESEARCH

52


18/63

RESEARCH IS BASICALLY OF TWO TYPES

EXPLORATORY RESEARCH:

It seeks to discover new relationships. They are drawn from ideas developed in

the previous research studies and based on it theories have been formed.

CONCLUSIVE RESEARCH:

It helps executives to choose among the various courses of action. Conclusive

research design was adopted which was descriptive in nature.A descriptive study attempts to

obtain a complete and accurate description of a situation. Description method was adopted to

study the consumer behavior of various brands of dairy industry.

SOURCE OF DATA:

Data refers to information or facts. The two main sources of data for the present

study have been primary data and the secondary data.

PRIMARY DATA:

Primary data consist of original information collected for specific purpose. This

project relied on the response of the customers.

SECONDARY DATA:

Secondary data consists of information that already exists somewhere having been

collected for some other purpose. The secondary data is obtained from the company data base.

53


19/63

SAMPLING PLAN:

POPULATION:

Population or universe can be defined as the complete set of items, which are of

interest in any particular situation in case of population data is collected from each and every

unit.

SAMPLING UNIT:

This answers who is to be surveyed. The researcher must define target

population that will be sampled; once this is determined a sampling frame is developed so that

everyone in the target population has an equal chance of being selected.

SAMPLE:

Sample denotes the entire part of the universe, which studied and conclusion

are drawn on this basis for the entire universe.

SAMPLE SIZE:

An important decision that has to be taken is adopting the sampling technique

is about the size of the sample. Size of the sample means the number of sampling unitsselected from the population for investigation. It answers how many people should be

surveyed. Here the total population is the sample size.

SAMPLING TECHNIQUE:

Simple random sampling is used as the samples selected for this purpose are

given an equal chance of being include in the sample and are selected for a specific purpose

with a goal to determine the Stress level.

DATA COLLECTION PROCEADURE:Primary data was collected using the questionnaire. A survey was done with the

researcher meeting the respondents in their respective places. The respondents reference to

each question was carefully noted in the questionnaire. Their perceptions and suggestions were

carefully observed and registered.

TOOLS USED FOR DATA COLLECTION

The main tool used for the purpose of study has been a well-constructed

questionnaire. Questionnaire is short & simple, personal and intimate questions are showed at

the end.

54


20/63

The forms of question contained in the questionnaire are as follows:

Dichotomous form i.e., yes or no answers.

Multiple choice questions i.e., alternative answers presented.

Open ended i.e., inviting free response.

Ranking based questions.

TOOLS USED FOR DATA ANALYSIS

Analysis techniques are used to obtain finding and arrange information in a

logical sequence from the raw data collected. After the tabulation of data the tools provide a

scientific and mathematical solution to a complex problem.

1) CHART

Bar charts and pie charts are used for analysis to get a clear idea about the tabulated

data.

2) PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS

Percentage analysis shows the entire population in terms of percentages. It reveals

the number of belonging is a particular category or the number of people preferring a particular

thing, etc., in terms of percentage. In this study, the number of people who responded in a

particulars manner is interpreted in the form of percentages.

Each table has been calculated on the basis of percentage.

No of respondents

Percentage = ------------------------------ X 100Total respondents

3) WEIGHTED AVERAGE METHOD

In the case of data involving rating scale & ranking, the weighted average ranking

method used. In this method, the net scores for each attributes are calculated and analysis can

be done as the basic of the net score in percentage obtained the formula is given.

Weighted for column X no of respondents

Net Score = ---------------------------------------------------------

Total weight

55


21/63

4) CHI SQUARE TEST ANALYSIS

The chi-square test a fairly, simple and definitely the most popular of all the

other tools, the chi-square test is most widely used non-parametric tests in statistical work. It

makes no assumption about being sampled. The quantity chi-square describes the magnitude of

discrepancy between theory and observation.

(0i Ei)

Chi square test = ------------------

Ei

0i = observed frequency

Ei = Expected frequency

5) ANOVA ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE

It is a statistical technique specially designed to test whether the means of more

than two quantitative populations are equal. It consists of classifying and cross classifying

statistical result and testing whether the means of a specified classification differ significantly.

The analysis of variance is studied by:

a) One way classification

b) Two way classification

This study includes two way classifications ANOVA.

TWO -WAY CLASSIFICATION ANOVAWhen it is believed that, two independent factors might have an effect on the

response variable of interest; it is possible to design the test so that an analysis of variance can

be used to test for the effects of the two factors simultaneously. Such a test is called a two

factor analysis of variance. In this the data are classified according to two different criteria or

factors.

56


22/63

6) CORRELATION:

The concept of correlation which is one of the methods of studying the

relationship between variables. Two variables may have a positive correlation, a negative

correlation or they may be uncorrelated. The correlation between two variables is called as

simple correlation. The correlation in the case of more than two variables called multiple

correlation.

3.4 SUGGESTIONS

Most of the respondents are aware of stress but they dont know the complete details

about it, so the company people have to create an awareness program towards this , so

that they will have clear idea about the stress and its impact..

Most of the respondents have undergone physical stress due to mandatory over time &

inflexible work schedule, so the company should adopt proper timing and schedule to

the workers in order to reduce their stress so that both of them will be benefited.

More than 50% of the respondents are suffering due to personal stress because of the

financial position, so the companies have to look after their problems by providing orarranging schemes or loans in order to avoid this problem.

96


62/63


63/63

Apart from the physical stress they are also undergoing personal

stress due to their financial condition, it is suggested to provide any loans in order to solve

this problem.

From the workers perception it is also concluded that they are

maintaining a good relationship with their superiors, subordinates & co workers. This has

to be maintained in order to solve the problems in the future, they should make the workers

to work actively in the work spot by motivating, solving problems, by counseling etc.,

The company should provide yoga classes in order to get rid

of stress; this makes them to reveal stress from the work spot.

At any cost the company should not insist the workers to

follow the illegal rules.
