Abstract

This study's objective is to determine the impact of stress management interventions including participative management, the environment of an organization, flexible time hours, and training, on work eustress and job satisfaction in the private sector in Pakistan. Second, the objective is to determine the role of work eustress as a mediator between stress management interventions and job satisfaction. The developed hypothesis model consisted of stress management interventions as independent variables while work eustress was used as a mediator and job satisfaction as the dependent variable. A total of 357 Data was collected through a survey questionnaire spreading among different private sectors in Karachi, Pakistan. Measurement and structural model tests were performed by using PLS-SEM. The results found that participative management, flexible work time, and work eustress have positive and direct relationships with job satisfaction. Stress management interventions have a positive and direct relationship with work eustress. Furthermore, work eustress mediates the relationship between stress management interventions and job satisfaction.
