IDENTIFICATION OF FACTORS CAUSING OCCUPATIONAL STRESS AMONG WORKING WOMEN (MARRIED) IN IT COMPANIES

Abstract

We know the causes and consequences and impacts of heavy occupational stress on the employees. It is equally important to highlight the ill effects of occupational stress on the organization also. It has been observed that unless and until it is promptly dealt with, stress may have adverse effect on the overall performance of the organization and the society as well. The organizational consequences of occupational stress may have massive adverse effects on the organization’s performance. In this paper, the researcher has tried to identify the factors of stress which could lead to occupational stress among working women (married) employees at the workplace. Employees could have been affected by group behavior, lack of information, office politics and conflicts, excessive interruptions, lack of recognition, shortage of required resources, insufficient co-workers, more administration and paper work, continuous and chaotic job demands and shortage of help at work.
