Abstract

Pandemics like COVID-19 are expected to make a dent on the pockets and the psychological state of individuals. Not just the residents of a country, the industry is also under stress and expects some support from the government to negotiate and manage the effects of such pandemics. The primary objective of the research is to understand the relationship between economic impact, stress and the government's support during the COVID-19 crisis. Additionally, it was intended to study the expectation and impact of the economic relief and support as announced by the respective governments of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The study was conducted during October-December (2020) and is based on survey data as collected from GCC residents. It uses the moderation-mediation techniques and other analytical tools to draw conclusions. One of the significant finding of the research is that the stress levels of individuals during the times of pandemics can be reduced by increasing the government's support. Additionally, the economic impact of a pandemic on earnings is one of the significant reasons for an increase in stress levels of individuals.
