GENERAL ADAPTATION SYNDROME
Much of what we know about stress today can be traced to the
pioneering work of Dr. Hans Selye identified what he called
general adaptation syndrome and the notions of eustress and
distress.
According to this view, we each have a normal level of
resistance to stressful events. Some of us can tolerate a great
deal of stress, while others can handle much less, but
everyone has a basic threshold at which stress starts to affect
us.
GENERAL ADAPTATION SYNDROME
The GAS begins when a person first
encounters a stressor.
1st Stage-
• Sudden release of stress hormones.
• “Fight or flight” response
• Increased heart rate, blood pressure energy .
2nd Stage-
• Adaptation to the stressor
• Increased effort to cope
• Attempt to restore balance.
3rd Stage-
Depletion of physical and mental resources
Burnout, fatigue and mental health issues
• Decreased productivity, motivational, and overall
well-being.
DISTRESS AND
EUSTRESS
Distress and eustress are two types of stress responses.
Distress is a negative stress response, characterized by feelings of

anxiety, fear, and overwhelm, leading to decreased performance and
well-being. It occurs when stressors are perceived as threats or excessive
demands.
On the other hand, eustress is a positive stress response, marked by
excitement, motivation, and focus, leading to increased performance and
growth. It arises when stressors are viewed as challenges or opportunities for
development. While both types of stress involve physiological arousal, the key
difference lies in the individual’s perception and response to the stressor.

by work-related factors, such as job demands, role
ambiguity, and interpersonal conflicts

Consequences of
job stress
Chronic job stress harms physical and mental health. It also affects relationships,
well-being, and productivity.
● Physical Health: Job stress increases minor ailments, contributes to major

illnesses like heart disease, and shortens longevity, with significant physical health
consequences.
● Psychological Health: Job stress increases anxiety, frustration, and responses
like passivity, aggression, depression, and rarely, suicide, impacting mental health
and well-being significantly.
● Performance: Stress negatively impacts individual performance, leading to
increased turnover, absenteeism, and sabotage, ultimately reducing productivity
and work quality.
● Decision Making: Stress impairs decision-making by causing procrastination,
distraction, and avoidance, leading to poor concentration and forgetfulness,
resulting in low-quality decisions.
Coping With Job
Stress
• Work-Focused Coping Strategies: If employees feel their job assignments are
unclear, they can ask their supervisors for clarification of what is expected. People
can learn to get better organized so that they can do their work more efficiently
and fritter away less time needlessly.
• Emotion-Focused Coping Strategies: One of the biggest sources of stress in
people's lives is the attempt to live up to the impossible standards they set for
themselves. Learning to live with little less is not compromising standards; it is
dealing with the job more realistically. A very effective way of coping with job stress
is to seek out social support from others. When people are stressed, it helps to
have friends and colleagues who are supportive.
•Organizational Programs To Manage Stress: Probably the most frequently used
organizational stress management program is health maintenance. The Sun
Valley Health institute in Idaho, for instance, runs four-day programs that not
only monitor employees' current health, but also emphasize to participants what
changes what changes are needed in their diets and exercise routines.
Development of
Personality
Stress management plays a significant role in personality development,
as it can impact an individual's emotional stability, resilience, and overall
well-being. Effective stress management can:
1. Enhance emotional regulation: Developing healthy coping

mechanisms helps manage emotions, leading to increased emotional
intelligence and stability.
2. Foster resilience: Learning to handle stress builds resilience, enabling

individuals to better navigate challenges and setbacks.
3. Promote self-awareness: Stress management encourages

introspection, helping individuals understand their thoughts, feelings,
and behaviors.
4. Support personal growth: Overcoming stress can lead to increased

confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of accomplishment.
5. Improve relationships: Effective stress management can lead to

better communication, empathy, and relationship skills.]
