Social work is an academic and professional discipline that seeks to facilitate the welfare of communities, individuals, families and groups. It may promote social change, development, cohesion and empowerment. Though social work is a voluntary service, ‘stress’ which is seen in occupational jobs is also present among the NGO workers due to unpleasant emotions such as tensions, anxiety, frustration and depression. The major difference between occupational stress and many other forms of stress is the nature of the stressor and their interaction with the overall stress process. Stress and work pressure of the employees consequently affect the efficiency of the organization because when a person is under stress, his/her ability to carry out job responsibility gets affected. Over the past few decades stress is emerging as an increasing problem in organizations. Stress is a vigorous state in which a person is confronted with an opportunity, demand, or resource related to what the individual wishes and for which the outcome is perceived to be both vague and vital. Pressure is seen as something positive and that which actually helps improve our performance. However, the problems arise when the sources of pressure become too frequent without time to recover, or when just one source of pressure is too great for us to cope with. So, stress has a positive effect on employees of any organization but up to a certain extent up to which an employee can cope with it, mostly it exceeds the bearable limits and have a negative result on employees. The aim of this study is to gain an understanding of the experiences social workers have, with regard to their work stress, as well as the coping strategies they employ to address this stress to have a positive effect on the future humanitarian crisis. We, in order to find out the work stress among NGO workers, conducted the research through the information that we got from both primary data as well as secondary data
