The level of stress varies for different individuals: A type of personality has a sense of urgency and is impatient to complete his work. He/she has a very competitive spirit to win in any situation. They are always stressed even for minor problems. There are chances of committing more mistakes by them. B type persons are never stressed even in any tough situation. They can only manage small routine tasks. They are not capable of handling tough tasks which require more responsibility and exertion/stress on the employee. Some amount of stress is required in order to attain a person’s target. This stress is called as Eustress. The individual may not be able to achieve much if there is no target in his work-place.
