Summary/Abstract: Contemporary society lives in a brisk pace that is much faster than even a few decades ago, and people are forced to make an ongoing effort to adapt, which inevitably leads to stress. Time is, at the moment, one of the most important stress factors alongside many others such as: difficulties employees have in adapting to the changes required by their busy workplace and the dramatic decrease of work productivity.Stress today is people's reaction to excessive pressures which they have to bear every day from the external environment. The way in which society evolves depends a great deal on the way each of us reacts and approaches the situations we face at our workplace and not only there. Despite all these particularly harmful influences, few people realize the danger of prolonged stress in order to take effective measures against it. This stems from the fact that stress acts slowly on the human body and its effects are not seen at once, but in time.This paper aims to study the implications of stress at a workplace within an organization and what effects may occur. Based on quantitative and qualitative methods, this paper represents an exploratory research, especially by highlighting relevant information in the field.
