Abstract
The research on conceptualization of stress or rather ‘distress’ and coping mechanism is extensive, but there are very limited studies on its counterpart ‘eustress’ which has largely been ignored. The current research explores a more positive perception of stress (eustress) and its impact on the organizational well-being in terms of organizational performance, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The study views stress from a more comprehensive outlook emphasizing on eustress—good stress—as a positive individual and organizational outcome. The concept draws from the literature of positive organizational behavior and positive psychology and provides a means to improve performance. The aim is on the positive potential of eustress generation in organizations rather than the avoidance of employee distress. The area is still in its infancy and the studies linking the two variables especially in the Indian context are rather rare. The results from a total of 314 executives from top and middle level management serving in public and private sector banks across Delhi and NCR were analyzed using descriptive corelational research design. Results indicated high significant positive correlation between eustress and all components of organizational well-being. The research acknowledges the existence of eustress as the positive perception of stress in the challenging and dynamic environment of the banking sector.
