A Study on the Human Resource Management Policies and Causes of Occupational Stress in the Private Hospitals in Nagapattinam District of Tamil Nadu

Abstract

Human resource management (HRM) involves effectively managing people in the workplace to maximize their contribution to the organization. It encompasses the quantitative aspects of employees' roles within an organization. Stress is an inherent part of everyday life for individuals. While it is commonly believed that stress is solely caused by external events and environmental factors, it is important to recognize that stress is actually a result of our reactions to the external environment. This understanding highlights the significance of managing stress effectively. By developing strategies to cope with and respond to stress, individuals can mitigate its negative impact on their well-being and performance. Organizations have a responsibility to create a supportive work environment that promotes employee well-being and provides resources to manage stress effectively. Recognizing the role of individual reactions in causing stress allows organizations and individuals to address this issue more proactively. By focusing on stress management and providing support mechanisms, both organizations and individuals can work together to create a healthier and more productive work environment.
