About this issue
Occupational stress is a growing problem globally at workplaces and may be a problem of particular magnitude for working women, in part because of sex-specific job stressors (sex discrimination or difficulties combining work and family). Although such stressors have received little research attention until recent years, some research indicates that these stressors may have a negative impact on health and well-being. A number of stress-reduction strategies have been studied to be useful for working women focused on reducing the occupational stress. This article examines the relations between occupational stress in working women, strategies to cope up with stress and feeling of well-being. For this one hundred working women in the age range of 25 to 45 years from middle job strata working in government organizations of district Haridwar were undertaken through the purposive sampling technique. Occupational Stress Index, Coping Checklist and PGI-Well-being scales were used to measure the work related stress, coping strategies and feeling of well-being of such people. Critical analysis of data revel that working women were high on role overload, role conflict, unreasonable group and political pressure, under participation, strenuous working conditions of occupational stress. On the other hand they were high on use of coping strategies like positive cognitive and distraction. Wellbeing of working women significantly and negatively correlated with role over-load, role ambiguity, unreasonable group and political pressure, and intrinsic impoverishment.
