Abstract
ABSTRACT
The topic of this research, stress and its impact on productivity had
and still dominating discussion in the field of management.
This research exposes the multiple implications stress holds for
productivity in particular and other dimensions of organizational life in
general.
This study suggests how stress can be converted from seeing
constraint to stimulating productivity.
Part of the myths that characterizes stress perception is that it is
entirely a bad phenomenon. This was however vitiated by the series of
literature reviewed in this work as well as interview conducted.
One of the successes of this research is the fact that it has provoke
further inquiry by future researchers as the insights provided by the
findings will be of immense value. Prominent in the list of findings is the
fact that nobody is immune to stress.
It is the considered opinion of the researcher that stress with its bad
reputation is not to be feared since it can be a catalyst for productivity.
