Stress Management in Business Consulting

The aim of this thesis is to assess the role of stress in the field of business consulting in the context of work productivity, to identify key stressors, and to determine effective strategies for managing stress at both the individual and organizational levels. The quantitative part of the research was conducted on a sample of business consultants operating in the Czech Republic, and stress levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale. Correlation analysis revealed a negative relationship between the level of perceived stress and work productivity. The qualitative part of the research complements these findings with individual experiences of consultants and identifies specific strategies for managing stress on both levels. The conclusions of the thesis may be beneficial for the human resources departments of consulting firms, as well as for current and future consultants.
