Stress is a very common occurrence today and is present in almost all occupations. Managers are individuals who, on a daily basis, encounter short deadlines and vaguely defined goals that put them under constant pressure. Sources of stress are numerous, but they certainly depend on the individual, on relationships with the people in their work environment, as well as the organization of work within the company that employs them. The aim of this study is to analyze stress in people who are currently in managerial positions. The research was conducted through face-to-face interviews on a sample of 10 people employed in managerial positions. The obtained research results show that management is a stressful occupation; however, people in these positions learn to manage stress more successfully. The research also reveals that in addition to the negative stress they are exposed to at work, respondents also experience positive stress. As the main sources of stress, the respondents cite the following: short deadlines, vaguely defined business goals and solving problems that occur in interpersonal relationships. The way they deal with stress is mostly by spending time with their families, devoting themselves to personal interests, sports activities and music, while stressful situations at work tend to be resolved by communicating them to a superior in a timely manner. The conclusion that was reached from the interviews is that, despite the stress the respondents experience as managers, they truly love their jobs and, if they were in a situation to choose again, they would choose the same job.
