A company conducted a survey to identify the effect of stress on performance. Three hundred candidates were selected. Participants were of the age group 30-45, and of both genders. The nature of work varied from managerial to administrative to operative to sales. Work timings were from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.; however, some roles would require duties outside of the office. Based on the designation, salaries varied as well from a range of USD 15,000 to 50,000 per annum.
