Abstract

Stress is a fact of everyday life. When people reach out for help, they are often dealing with circumstances, situations, and stressors in their lives that leave them feeling emotionally and physically overwhelmed. Stress can best be described as an individual's responses to pressure. The pressure at work comes from the physical environment, the characteristics of the job, the organization's culture, and the people in the organization. The VST Motors Group is a well recognized brand name in India's automobile dealership fraternity. The various companies in the group have long standing associations with multiple automobile manufacturers, generations of loyal customers, the local community and workforce and the finance and banking industry. The group comprises of various companies that deal in the retail and servicing of passenger cars, multi-utility vehicles and commercial vehicle across Tamilnadu.
