Managing Workplace Stress in Businesses in the Prishtina Region to Enhance Performance

Abstract

Effective stress management in the workplace is key to improving the performance of employees and the entire company. Focusing on measures to manage stress and create a supportive work environment not only benefits employee health and productivity but also acts as a catalyst for fundamental changes in the corporate response to various problems. This promotes a healthy work culture that supports user happiness and long-term organizational success. The study analyzed stress management approaches and their relationship with employee performance in the Prishtina region, including a total of 60 participants who answered a survey questionnaire. The results were processed with the SPSS program, using correlation analysis to confirm the hypotheses. Workplace stress, which is influenced by various factors, requires a comprehensive management approach for employee well-being and organizational effectiveness. The complex relationship between stress and performance highlights the need for adaptive strategies and resource optimization. Organizations in Prishtina should prioritize targeted stress management, emphasizing a supportive culture, leadership training, and addressing local stressors. Integrating flexible work arrangements and technology management, along with wellness programs, promotes a holistic approach to improved satisfaction and performance. This study adds to the literature on stress management, highlighting nuanced interventions for different stressors.
