Gender Roles, Occupational Stress & Its Impact On Job Satisfaction Amongst Women

Abstract

Nowadays, both people and companies deal with stress on a regular basis in the workplace. In this study, we will look at how stress manifests itself in the workplace from a gender perspective. Two hundred thirty-one working-age India took part in the research. They were given a questionnaire with two measuring scales to fill out while they were on the clock. The underlying hypothesis was that males would exhibit more interpersonal problems in the workplace and that there would be no difference between the sexes when it came to stress caused by organizational limitations. Not all study assumptions were confirmed by the results. For example, due to organizational restrictions, males were seen to vent their stress more often via confrontations with co-workers. The statistics from the study on the many ways stress manifests in the workplace align with the sources cited. Despite the fact that the questionnaire employed was not validated in India, this research adds to the empirical evidence that there are gender variations in the symptoms of stress at work.
