Abstract

In the Indian thought, it is now apparent, that due attention has been paid to the problem of stress. The system is analytical and helps an individual understand his own stresses and specially the roots of these stresses. Probably this paradigm is more meaningful for the study of stress in India. I have gone over the cardinal stressors due to which work stress is experienced by employees at different levels of the organisational hierarchy and who are passing through different phases of career development. These range from poor physical conditions under which the job is to be carried out; the experienced role stress, to the work; home interface. Work stress is not restricted to any single occupational group. It is' experienced, as we saw by steel workers; policemen; defense personnel; dentists; traffic controllers; mine workers and so on in other words by those working in every occupational setting. The influence of socio-cultural factors on work stress becomes evident when we find aspects like social supports do exert an influence in mitigating work stress.
