The study was carried out on the basis that stress is part of everyday life that cannot be avoided but managed. The theoretical basis for conducting the research is the fact that stress is part and parcel of daily life. Moreover, this study was informed by increased levels of organizational stress in the private sector due to rapid and striking changes brought by increased competition, globalization, and liberalization. The other theoretical aspect underpinning this study is recent findings that female stress is higher than male stress in the organization.
The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of job stress on organizational performance, determine effective measures for managing organizational stress, and identify the link between organizational stress and performance. Through analyzing existing literature on organizational stress, the researcher found that organizational stress is brought by gender bias system, conflicting demands, lack of management support, role conflict, and workload. Moreover, organizational stress negatively impacts organizational performance, all levels of management, and interpersonal relationships in the workplace.

The purpose of this study is to examine the causes of organizational stress and how it can be managed in the working environment. While the author do not explicitly state the research methodology utilized in the study, she found that organizational stress is a by-product of several factors.

These stressors can be managed through personal characteristics like time management and problem solving as well as work situation like good working environment.

The publication of the article in a medical journal and the author's background makes it appropriate for the intended audience. The research provides significant insights on the various categories of events that cause organizational stress and effective management strategies for each category of events. However, it's limited on the basis that it relates organizational stress to health issues, which may not be the case in every scenario. In essence, while organizational stress generates negative individual and organizational effects, it does not necessarily end up creating health-related issues.
