- Abstract
The Stress, called the disease of the century became in the last decades the second most common work-related health problem, affecting 28% of working people from the European Union countries. The EU statistics shows that work stress affects not only the employees, but also their organization and their national economies which have to allocate increasing financial resources. This paper aims to analyse the evolution and different approaches of stress concept along the time, the stress mechanism and the main factors, called risk factors or stressors, which lead to stress reactions (physiological, psychological, cognitive and behavioural reactions). The paper also analyses the main implication of work stress on the individual and at the organizational level and some methods for reducing individual and organizational stress. Stress management consists of a series of actions and measures which are implemented in order to reduce organizational stress and its effects. Stress management includes both measures for employees, allowing a better adaptation to stress, and also actions for organizations, in order to identify and remove/ reduce existing stress factors.
