What are types of employee stress in SME?



The three common types of stress found by many authors such as Saridakis, Muñoz Torres, &Johnstone, (2013),Rutherford, & Holt, (2007)

1. Time stress
Employees encounter time stress when they stress over time, or the deficiency in that department. They stress over the quantity of things that you need to do, and you expect that you'll neglect to accomplish something imperative. You may feel caught, troubled, or even miserable. Regular cases of time stress incorporate agonizing over due dates or racing to abstain from being late for a meeting (Aragón-Sánchez, Barba-Aragón,  &Sanz-Valle, 2003).

2. Anticipatory stress
Anticipatory stress depicts stress that you encounter concerning what's to come. At times this stress can be centered on a particular occasion, for example, an up and coming presentation that will give. In any case, anticipatory stress can likewise be dubious and vague, for example, a general feeling of fear about the future, or a stress that "something will turn out badly (Prouska, Psychogios, &Rexhepi, 2016)."

3. Situational stress
Employees encounter situational stress when you're in a terrifying circumstance that you have no power over. This could be a crisis. All the more ordinarily, be that as it may, it's a circumstance that includes strife, or lost status or acknowledgment according to team. For example, getting laid off or committing a noteworthy error before your group is cases of occasions that can bring about situational stress (Yetim, &Yetim, 2006).

  1. Employees also have stress equally to that of an entrepreneur. And while working the stress builds up, the team members become less productive and emotionally disconnected.
    Healthy and happy employees will have a lower stress level and this can be achieved by some simple factors like;
    • Feed and educate the employees
    • Communicate with the employees
    • Be humorous
    • Conduct your meeting outside the premises
    • Encourage breaks
    • Take them on annual trips
    • Celebrate their birthdays
