Abstract
Generally, human life is not going on a straight way. It runs on a zig-zag line. In searching of better solutions, facing these small and big problems, and making adjustment with current situations and environment, a person feels stress more or less. Stress affects us at home, work, and even on holidays. Many models are available to understand the concept of stress but it has been felt that they all suffer from being either narrow in scope or lacking a role for individual differences, and lacking in predictive validity. The present model would add new dimension to think about the work stress. In such a complex and competitive job environment, to find proper solutions or skills to cope with workplace stress, an employee would first need to understand the nature and whole process of workplace stress and this model would be more helpful to understand the work stress, its nature and whole process including an important role of individual capacity which exists in every stage, so that the better psychological therapies and medicinal treatments may be discovered in future to help such several employees to improve their health in the interest of the concerned organizations because employees are considered as backbone of any organization for development.
