Organizational approaches-several factors that causes stress-particularly task or role demands-

are controlled by management.

The various approaches of organization are Selection and placement-management shouldn’t restrict hiring to only

experienced individuals with an internal locus, resulting in performing those jobs more effectively.

For example-an IT EMPLOYEE will be able to handle all the problems regarding computers more effectively in comparison to other.

Training-Increases an

individual’s self-efficacy and thus lessen job strain.

For example-with innovations to new techniques the employee working in firm should be provided with training so that they are familiar with machines

Goal setting-since goals are attainable and clarify the performance expectations. This result in less employee frustration and stress.

for example; there is printing firm and it has decided to produce 1000 books to be printed then no confusion will be in minds of working firm that what is there ultimate goal.

Redesigning jobs-it result in giving employees more responsibility, more meaningful work with increased feedback which result in reducing stress because these factors give employee greater control over work activities and lessen dependence on others.

Increasing employee involvement-By giving these employees a voice in the decisions that directly affect their job performance result in reducing stress.

For example- organizational communication-increasing formal

communication with employee, result in reducing stress as this approach give importance to the perception of employee.

For example-there are several demands or opportunities that are interpretation and management should communicate all these interpretation’s.

Wellness programs-organizationally supported programs that focus on the employee’s total physical and mental condition.

For eg-yoga classes are being held in various organizations to reduce stress.
