Managing employee emotional stress is one of the most significant global challenges in the manufacturing sector today, and it is anticipated to exacerbate the trend in the coming years. Notably, employee work-related stress is responsible for 12 billion lost workdays and a cost of over US$1 trillion to the worldwide economy annually. Furthermore, Australian businesses incur an annual cost exceeding $11 billion due to insufficient attention to their employees' mental health needs. Employee emotional stress occurs when there are discrepancies between the physiological demands of a workplace and the inability of employees to manage the work demands. There is a need for fresh viewpoints in light of recent scholarly discussions on employee emotional well-being, particularly the psychosocial safety climate, due to its features connected with employee emotional stress. The commitment of management and their support for employee psychological health to mitigate work-related stress is referred to as the psychosocial safety climate. It represents organisational policies, practices, and procedures for protecting workers' psychological health and safety. The authors propose investigating the relationship between psychological safety climate and emotional stress, optimising lean manufacturing environment, and upholding robust occupational health and safety practices. It will also allow the creation of the appropriate conditions for establishing and sustaining a psychosocial safety climate among manufacturing firms to mitigate employee emotional stress levels. This transformation involves shaping workplaces seamlessly, integrating efficiency and empathy, and propelling toward a future where manufacturing synchronises with the cadence of human resilience.
