Abstract

Based on an exploratory study using a purposive sample of 53 managerial employees of a public sector organization, this paper has tried to assess the level of occupational stress experienced by the respondents. A subsequent search for the predictors of stress revealed that, out of the eight potential predictors used for the study, only two emerged as the critical determinants of stress. Both of these predictors turned out to be aspects of the organizational climate, suggesting thereby the greater role played by the situational factors (as against the attributes of the person) in creating occupational stress. If subsequent research studies come up with similar findings, the outcome of this exploratory study should be of interest to both academicians as well as practitioners.
