K. Shanthi, Dr. Ramachandren

Abstract :

The aim of this study is to explore the differences in job–related stress, if any, between public and private sector employees, based on ten role stressors. It also examines the role of demographic variables on the stress levels of both public and private sector groups. In this study methodology entails a survey of 182 public and 120 private sector employees in Karaikal, Puducherry U.T India, whose responses are measured according to an occupational role stress scale. The researcher also used secondary data provided by the literature review. The sample was collected through convenience sampling. On applying the t–test and ANOVA test to the data, the researcher found that both public and private sector employees are facing moderate levels of stress. While there is no significant difference between public and private sector employees in terms of total stress levels, certain individual stressors—such as work experience and educational qualifications—do yield differences. The major limitation of this study is that it was conducted in Karaikal puducherry UT alone, while the work culture of organizations other than in Karaikal puducherry U.T may be different
