Abstract
Stress, most popularly known as strain, tension and pressure, is the experience when we believe we cannot cope up effectively with the contemporary environment. Stress is basically used in physical science which means the pressure of one object on another object. We cannot eliminate stress from our life as people feel stress since they have no control over it. Therefore, it happens time and again. Basically, stress damages both the health of a human being and economy of business enterprises when it comes to industry. In nongovernmental organizations, stress acts as neutral motivating force. However, if the stress is beyond excessive intake, it hampers productivity too. The performance of an employee decreases, and the growth of the industry or NGOs slows down. Hence, it is the primary concern in industrial arena to arrest all the stress contributing factors. Social intelligence as a trait many times helps to reduce stress in a person. This paper is an endeavor to examine the relationship between stress, organizational performance and social intelligence. The paper also analyzes the significance of ergonomics in prevention and management of stress. Ergonomics interventions at the workplace are becoming more and more critical to employee performance and their health especially in nongovernmental sectors.
