Abstract
With the state of the economy being as it is today, and with the constant demand for short term decision results, the level of stress is on the increase. The successful manager must have at his disposal a coping strategy that will allow him to continue both good health and to optimize his performance.
The subject matter presented in this thesis was developed by research of the most recent articles written by leading psychologists, behavioral scientists, and executives. Also information was gathered through direct observation of manager operating under actual job conditions. This information was then utilized as a foundation for giving the manager guidelines for developing coping strategies.
The topic of Managerial Stress was discussed in great detail as to its causes and effects. The overall results are that management should be aware that stressful events can and should be controlled. It should also be clear that stress is not a new phenomenon unique to any one manager's situation, but is a wide spread state of physical and mental activity impacting upon all managers to some degree.
