ABSTRACT

Stress has been one of the popular fields of study among researchers around the world and voluminous literature is available in this domain. Previous studies have indicated that job-related stress can have major implications on physical and psychological health, which can ultimately result in depression, anxiety, and other health-related problems. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), low productivity in the workplace resulting from anxiety and depression costs up to $1 trillion each year. So, to provide a healthy work environment it is most crucial to work on strategies that help in achieving employee well-being, and detailed study in this domain, taking into account all of the factors affecting employees, is required. Therefore, this review paper explores the existing literature on job stress, its antecedents, and consequences. The seminal work is reviewed to understand the construct, its relationship with other work-related outcomes, and find out the research gap in the existing literature as well as the area of consistency and inconsistency.
