Organizational Factors
There is no shortage of factors within an organization that can cause stress. These factors
can be categorised as task, role and interpersonal demands. Task demands relates to the persons
job, the include working conditions and the physical layout. Role demands relate to pressure
placed on a person as a function of the particular roe he or she plays in the organization and
interpersonal demands are created by pressure from other employees.
Personal Factors
The typical persons works about 40 to 50 hours a week. But the experience and problems
people encounter in the other 120 plus can spill over on the job
boost by turning off your smartphone and focusing your attention on non-work activities for a
while.
Talk to your supervisor. Healthy employees are typically more productive, so your boss has an
incentive to create a work environment that promotes employee well-being. Start by having an
open conversation with your supervisor. The purpose of this isn't to lay out a list of complaints,
but rather to come up with an effective plan for managing the stressors you've identified, so you
can perform at your best on the job.
Time Management
Time is a unique and precious resource. Time is valuable and as a result, time must be
managed effectively. How do we manage our time? Mismanaged time can result in:
1. Not meeting deadlines when you fail to manage your time properly, you fail to meet set
deadlines.
2. Rushed/ incomplete work when time is drawing closer to the deadline, individuals have
the tendency to rush work and often times details are left out.
3. Poor punctuality because there is importance in being on time, mismanaging time often
leads to lateness and absence.
4. Procrastination this is the putting off of work. Procrastination is one of the worst effects
of mismanaged time.
5. Indecisiveness when we dont manage our time properly, we often struggle with
making a decision on things.
However, when there are different ways in which we can manage time which will produce
positive results. Let us consider these five points raised by Scott (2005);
1. Time is allocated to everyone in equal measure.
2. Poor time management is often a symptom of over confidence.
3. Work expands to fill the amount of time available (Parkinsons Law).
4. The most effective time managers produce 80 percent of their results using 20 percent of
their time.
