Purpose of this research was to study the effects of occupational stress on the
performances of humanitarian sector workers in Sri Lanka and to measure the
correlation between the occupational stresses with the performance level of such
workers.
With the current economic upheavals many changes have taken place almost within
every organization where some of such changes seem to be on favor of the employees
while a majority of them have created negative impacts making a perfect foundation
for stresses.
Responses of 135 humanitarian workers attached to 17 organizations were analyzed
using a self administered questionnaire .Out of the two hypothetical condition that
were taken in to consideration it was not possible to verify the hypothesis on the
significant percentage of humanitarian sector workers suffering from stress with the
collected data. However, the second hypothesis on the significant correlation between
the stress and the work performance shows a statistical significance with the Pearson
correlation analysis.
The findings show that the Humanitarian workers are in a state of managing and
controlling their stress level within the contemporary settings. A significant level of
relationship between the stress and the performance could also be observed in the
correlation analysis.
Findings of this research will assist organizations in implementing stress management
techniques for their employees and improving the organizational performance. There
is scope for further studies based on occupational stress within the Sri Lankan context. |
