Journal Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background : The current century is a world of stress and has become a regular aspect of human life. The amount of knowledge on the concept of stress and its effects on organizational work life are growing in all directions. This study investigates the differences between employees with high occupational stress and employees with low occupational stress on job satisfaction and job involvement. Methodology : The participants of the study constitute 60 employees working in corporate organization. They were assessed by using occupational stress index, job attitude scale and job involvement scale. An independent-samples t-test was conducted to compare differences among individuals with high occupational stress and low occupational stress. Results : The study revealed a significant difference between employees with high occupational stress and low occupational stress, on job satisfaction, t (58) = 5.96, p < 0.05 and on job involvement t(58) = 2.44, p < 0.05. The findings indicate that employees with low occupational stress scored higher on job satisfaction and job involvement than employees with high occupational stress. Conclusions : These suggest that the level of occupational stress in an employee does have an impact on his/her job involvement and job satisfaction. This trend will enable organizations to acknowledge the needs of lower occupational stress at work place.
