Current Approaches of Stress Management in the Czech Business Environment

Original language description

his paper investigates stress management practices in Czech small and medium-sized enterprises (n = 194) within the manufacturing sector, with the primary objective of assessing the extent to which these enterprises integrate stress management principles into their internal management processes. The study places a particular emphasis on how these enterprises implement stress management, encompassing both organizational and individual level interventions, while also scrutinizing perceived work stressors, including challenges arising from workplace digitization. A questionnaire was compiled by making use of theoretical insights and empirical findings within stress management, assessing stress management strategies and exploring work-related stress costs. Additionally, it incorporated queries to delineate organizational profiles, enriching the understanding of contextual nuances. Based on a questionnaire survey conducted in the Czech Republic, the research reveals that 86.6% of the surveyed enterprises have implemented at least one stress management intervention, predominantly at the organizational level (45.4% of the respondents). Furthermore, 38.7% of the enterprises adopt both organizational and individual-level interventions, with only 2.6% exclusively focusing on individual stress management interventions. In a broader European context, the Czech Republic appears to lag behind in managing psychosocial risks and workplace stress, characterized by the lowest percentage of stress management action plans and a low rate of actual implementation of stress management measures. Additionally, there is a notable lack of legal frameworks addressing the issue. These findings underscore the need for more effective strategies to enhance stress management in the workplace and the overall wellbeing of employees.
