In organizational behavior, stress emerges when work demands outpace an employee’s ability to cope. Many companies neglect core OB principles, including clear roles, supportive structures, and fair rewards, which creates chronic stress and its downstream impacts: burnout, turnover, reduced performance, and health issues.

Discover how a targeted approach to clarifying roles and balancing workloads can revitalize your culture.
When leadership leans on punitive measures and fixates on mistakes, or when your culture glorifies overwork and tolerates incivility, stress becomes the norm. Employees grow guarded, trust erodes, and mental health suffers. These toxic patterns drive talent out the door and sap morale, productivity, and the very heart of your organization’s success.
