“…In modern project management environments, most workers are expected to complete demanding tasks with limited resources, which can be a major source of stress for the project manager. Research reveals that although external factors can trigger stress within a worker, the most likely cause of stress is work-related problems (Patching & Best, 2014). Similarly, Bowen et al (2020) explain that the project-driven nature of the sector encourages stakeholders to demand that projects are delivered on time, within the required standards, and within the stipulated budget.…”

“…In addition to occupational stress, trauma is a common problem in the modern project management environment. Patching and Best (2014) reveal that countries such as the United States have been experiencing a rise in employee compensation claims attributed to cumulative trauma. In this context, cumulative trauma is a mental illness that emerges due to continual exposure to occupational stress in the workplace.…”

“…In this context, cumulative trauma is a mental illness that emerges due to continual exposure to occupational stress in the workplace. For instance, there is a strong relationship between the employee's work hours and ill health (Patching & Best, 2014). Bowen et al (2020) contend that project management activities, such as construction, are highly demanding to the extent of encouraging employees to work long and arduous hours to complete their respective projects.…”

The modern project management environment has become more complex due to various influences. For instance, stress and trauma are recognized as powerful influences on employee behaviors and decision-making. Although past studies have attempted to understand the psychology behind this phenomenon, scarce research has been performed on the influence of the autonomic nervous system on project management outcomes. Accordingly, this paper investigates the underlying nervous system responses that shape project management activities in different organizations. It relies on the Polyvagal Theory to elucidate the neurobiological responses that emerge when project managers are faced with stressful, dangerous or life-threatening situations. Thus, the paper can offer feasible recommendations for optimizing project management outcomes by strengthening the link between the heart, mind, and body.

Urgency of application and development of cognitive graphic tools for usage in intelligent systems of data analysis, decision making and its justifications is given. Cognitive graphic tool "2-simplex prism" and examples of its usage are presented. Specificity of program realization of cognitive graphics tools invariant to problem areas is described. Most significant results are given and discussed. Future investigations are connected with usage of new approach to rendering, cross-platform realization, cognitive features improving and expanding of n-simplex family.

“…Additionally, it governs regions of pain and pleasure, which are crucial in how individuals perceive stress. In other words, the part of the brain responsible for stress processes information from our senses, identifies it, and then categorizes it (Patching and Best, 2014).…”

In this era of constant change and highly competitive environments, school efficiency is considered a key factor in successful organization. To ensure the success of educational systems and policies that are seamlessly implemented, schools require motivated and satisfied teachers who feel secure in their workplace and are capable of meeting high standards in their tasks. On the other hand, the continuous monitoring of teachers in the implementation of new curriculum policies, teaching and learning evaluation can diminish motivation, effectiveness, and job satisfaction. Furthermore, the academic literature has recognized teaching as a profession with high levels of stress. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between stress and professional satisfaction among pre-university teachers. The motivation for choosing this topic is primarily grounded in the idea that we all desire to build and maintain a mentally and emotionally balanced, healthy environment that enriches our quality of life and provides a conducive framework for personal growth and development. It also helps us become more aware of and optimize our relationships with the environment we live in, with others, and even with ourselves.
