Stress is a challenge that individuals face on a daily basis, caused by stressors and pressures originating from the workplace as well as the academic environment. These lead to many negative consequences, making effective management crucial. Human resources departments, due to the nature of their work, time pressures, extensive work and communication demands, experience significant stress. These pressures are also felt by students of human resources management at the faculty or during their student work. We invited six employees and six students from the field of human resources management for an interview and identified some key findings. Employees face stress in situations involving time pressures, extensive workloads, job changes and taking on responsible tasks. Students, due to the desire to advance in their career, cope with proving themselves at work, in addition to the stress arising from the academic world, namely because of the exam period and group seminar assignments. All this stress leads to anxiety, procrastination, poor sleep or even excessive overthinking. Stress is managed through various activities, self-efficacy and self-organization, but organizations and faculties only contribute to stress management through workshops and training. Our research has also confirmed that stress and career are interdependent, as stress motivates or demotivates an individual, but it is definitely the personality that is related to the individual's susceptibility to stress.
