Research Question (RQ): What is the level of perceived stress among Slovenian top, middle and lower managers in the Republic of Slovenia?
Purpose: The purpose of the article was to undertake a systematic review of scientific literature on the causes, factors and consequences of stress at different levels of manager’s organisation in the Republic of Slovenia in the period 2005–2019.
Method: The method for document analysis was a systematic manner of reducing resources and a quantitative analysis of their characteristics (using the Prisma flow diagram).
Results: 27,1 % of respondent managers assessed their work as highly or extremely stressful, 61,1 % as moderately stressful and 11,8 % as somewhat or less stressful.
Society: The research addresses the perception of stress among managers as opportunities for finding potential resolutions to eliminate or limit the factors that have an effect on it. These factors have a negative effect both on the performance of the company or another institution, on the health and social system as well as on the sustainable development of society.
Originality: Through a systematic review of studies performed on perceived stress among Slovenian top, middle and lower managers we arrived at new findings that have not yet been identified in previous studies.
Limitations / further research: The outcomes from the research on the level of perceived stress among Slovenian top, middle and lower managers cannot be generalised to the entire population of managers and they also cannot be generalised to standard activities and the size of a company. We have made some proposals for further research of stress among Slovenian managers.
