The objective of the study is to analyze the influence of occupational stress generated by organizational changes on the feelings associated with the workplace. The following hypotheses have been advanced to achieve the objectives: 1. There is a statistically significant association between occupational stress arising from organisational changes and overall workplace satisfaction of Employees in SMEs. 2. There is a statistically significant association between occupational stress arising from organisational changes and organisational engagement of Employees in SMEs. Statistically significant correlations between the above variables were obtained. The study is useful to the management structures in the organization under review, as it highlighted the influence of post-change stress on the feelings associated with the workplace in order to improve the negative effects. The study can also be used as an information resource for other SMEs in the country that want or need to implement changes and aim to reduce the negative emotional impact on employees from the first days, weeks or months.
