Stress management has garnered increasing attention in recent times, particularly within the financial sector. It's crucial to recognize that there's no such thing as a stress-free job. Virtually everyone in their professional roles encounters tension and anxiety as they navigate their assigned responsibilities. The banking industry, which plays a pivotal role in a country's economy, is no exception to this reality. Banking employees endure a demanding job nature, often involving direct customer interactions at all levels. This research sheds light on the prevalence of high stress levels among a significant number of bankers due to various job-related factors. These stress-inducing factors encompass extended working hours, an inadequate reward system, a lack of job autonomy, organizational culture, and role conflicts. However, the primary contributor appears to be the absence of adequate management support for employees. It is imperative to recognize the symptoms of elevated stress levels among banking professionals. Failure to identify these symptoms in the early stages can lead to severe health issues such as depression, heart problems, and diabetes. Furthermore, the impact extends beyond health; it also affects the personal lives of bankers, making it challenging for them to spend quality time at home or with their families. Nevertheless, with the implementation of effective management techniques, stress levels among bankers can be significantly reduced. The research conducted here falls under the category of 'Causal,' as it seeks to establish cause-and-effect relationships between the factors contributing to stress and their consequences on bankers' personal lives and health.
