14. STRESS
Stress is defined as “a state of psychological and
physiological imbalance resulting from the disparity
between situational demand and the individual's ability
and motivation to meet those needs.”
Dr. Hans Selye, one of the leading authorities on the
concept of stress, described stress as “the rate of all wear
and tear caused by life.”
Stress can be positive or negative:
Stress is good when the situation offers an opportunity to a person to gain
something. It acts as a motivator for peak performance.
Stress is negative when a person faces social, physical, organizational and
emotional problems.
15. CAUSES OF STRESS
1) The major causes of stress at
work or in organization.
2) The main causes of stress outside

18. If you’re living with high levels of stress, you’re putting your entire
well-being at risk. Stress wreaks havoc on your emotional
equilibrium, as well as your physical health. It narrows your ability
to think clearly, function effectively, and enjoy life.
Effective stress management, on the other hand, helps you break
the hold stress has on your life, so you can be happier, healthier,
and more productive. The ultimate goal is a balanced life, with
time for work, relationships, relaxation, and fun—and the
resilience to hold up under pressure and meet challenges head
on. But stress management is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why it’s
important to experiment and find out what works best for you.

“ability to notice and make distinctions among other individuals and, in particular, among their moods, temperaments, motivations, and intentions” (p. 239). Goleman (2006) defined social intelligence as “being intelligent not just about our relationships but also in them” [p. 11, emphasis in original]. His definition includes both the capacity to be socially aware (with components of primal empathy, attunement, empathetic accuracy, and social cognition) as well as the ability to develop social skill or facility (including components of synchrony, self - preservation, influence, and concern). The latter is Albrecht‟s (2006) primary focus - he defined social intelligence simply as “the ability to get along well with others and to get them to cooperate with you” (p. 3). In our opinion, Albrecht‟s definition is closer to defining social competence rather than social intelligence. A definition of intelligence should focus on the ability to learn to do something rather than being competent at it. In each of these definitions, cognitive /thinking, affective /emotional, and conative/volitional components are considered important because they provide the foundation for the establishment and maintenance of interpersonal relationships. Therefore, any attempt to develop social capacity (i.e., intelligence) into social competence will need to consider the other domains well. There is some controversy about whether social intelligence really exists in a manner.

Nowadays, in every organization social Intelligence is essential for employees, as they have to deal with different people from different cultural backgrounds and ethics. Social intelligence is especially important in the workplace because work is little more than groups of people working together for a common goal. Yet, too often people operate in social vacuums, not realizing the way to achieve more on the job is to find a way to connect with others. This is much more than just getting along with people, it is about how you develop relationships with people that make them want to work with you, that make them want to work harder and that inspire them to be more committed to their work. One of the mantras for running a successful business is hiring and retaining qualified and efficient work force. Only those organizations that make their employees feel that they are valued and can attract efficient professionals and retain their experienced workforce. Running a business involves the efforts of a large number of people working together. If employees have high social intelligence, they can will be in a better position to handle the conflicting views of his subordinates. It has been observed that individuals with high social intelligence can be good leaders‟ and can become successful managers. Karl Albrecht mentioned about Apple chief executive Steve Jobs as someone whose legendary vision and IQ has been mitigated by his lack of social radar.” Steve Jobs is an extremely talented person," he says. "He is a brilliant innovator but a lousy executive." Stories of the Apple chief executive's intolerance and abusive behavior toward co-workers are part of his legacy. Albrecht argues that the heavy-handed nature of Jobs' management style has often cost Apple by causing talented people to seek better working conditions.” Imagine what he might have accomplished if he had been able to have better relationships with those around him."

According to Karl Albrecht, social intelligence is a skill not a personality trait, so it can be acquired. SI, as a combination of skills expressed through learned behavior, and then assessing the impact of one's behavior on others - the degree to which one is successful in dealing with others - one can experiment with new behaviors and new interaction strategies. In the simplest terms, this is the ability to "get along with people," which - it is assumed - people learn as they grow up, mature, and gain experience in dealing with others. Unfortunately, many people do not continue to learn and grow as they age, and many people never acquire the awareness and skills they need to succeed in social, business or professional situations. It is quite clear that adults who lack insight and competence in dealing with others can make significant improvements in their SI status as a result of understanding the basic concepts and assessing themselves against a comprehensive model of interpersonal effectiveness.
What I’d like to end up with is that the synergistic effect of all the 5 factors combined may never be achieved by either of the factors alone. It’s not natural and most likely not possible to do so. They all have to work together
