Summary:The development of learning to create a competitive organisation can be relatively affected by stress. Stressed people can in many ways fight to meet daily routines and then they become daily-thinkers rather than innovators. Stress in the workplace can cause serious health hazards for workers in all types of jobs. Bureaucratic/traditional organisations are more likely to face the consequences of stress. This research examined why stress can become a major problem in modern organisations; especially in a developing world. It also identified and justified options available to minimize the harmful effect of stress to managers and employees in modern organisations. The intensive literature review has been done and it is further supported by the administration of a standard but modified research instrument. The correlation and regression to understand the ‘mindsets/opinions’ of employees on the cooperation and direction were positively related and contributed to organisational performance and were found to be the potential controller of stress. A method for controlling stress is proposed through discussions, conclusions, recommendations and stress control framework.
