NATURE OF JOB AND OCCUPATIONAL STRESS: A STUDY OF WORKERS OF AN INDUSTRY
Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The study examined the effect of nature of job (High risk / low risk) on occupational stress of 200 workers of Tata Motors Ltd, in Jamshedpur. These workers were divided on the basis of nature of job (high / low risk) and salary (high / low paid). Thus, there were four sub-groups and each sub-group there were 50 cases. The Occupational Stress Index developed by Srivastava and Singh in 1981 was administered on these 200 workers. Results clearly indicated that nature of job (high and low risk) played a significant role in creating stress in workers. Workers doing high risk jobs showed greater stress compared to workers doing low risk jobs in both high paid and low paid categories. Role overload, role ambiguity, responsibility of persons, unreasonable group pressures, under participation, poor peer relations, low status, strenuous working conditions, unprofitability were the factors which contributed more occupational stress. Conclusion: High risk job workers had significantly greater stress compared to low risk job workers.
