摘要
当今的职业世界竞争非常激烈,在残酷的竞争中生存下来,同时承受与工作有关的压力和压力是员工的重要任务。专业人士需要完成每日和每月的目标,可能会遇到与工作有关的压力。本研究旨在探讨年龄介于45-60岁的市场营销、银行和教学行业的中年专业人士的职业压力。共有180名年龄在45-60岁之间的中年专业人士参与了这项研究,他们来自银行、教学和营销部门,采用了有目的的滚雪球抽样技术。患有严重疾病或精神疾病并正在接受治疗的专业人员被排除在外。采用职业压力指数评估不同类型的职业压力源。统计分析使用statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20软件完成。采用描述性分析和单因素方差分析(ANOVA)得到有意义的结果。结果显示,40%的中年专业人员报告有轻微的职业压力,其次是32.2%的人有中度的职业压力,27.8%的人有高度的职业压力。此外,调查还发现,与同行相比,银行业专业人士的职业压力水平较低的比例(91.6%)要高得多。80%的市场营销专业人员报告称经历了高度的职业压力,而大多数(73.3%)的教学专业人员报告了中等水平的职业压力。研究发现,不同程度的职业压力在中年专业人员中普遍存在,是产生心理健康问题和影响幸福感的危险因素。在印度,需要大规模的初级和二级干预措施来管理压力,促进专业成长和发展。
Occupational Stress Among Middle-Aged Professionals in India.
Background: Professional world nowadays is very competitive, and surviving the cutthroat competition while sustaining work-related stress and pressure is an important task for employees. Professionals are required to meet daily and monthly objectives and may encounter work-related stressors.
Purpose: The study aims to explore occupational stress among middle-aged professionals in the age range of 45-60 years from the marketing, banking, and teaching sectors.
Methods: A total sample of 180 consented middle-aged professionals in the age range of 45-60 years from the banking, teaching, and marketing sectors were included in the study using a purposive and snowball sampling technique. Professionals having serious medical or psychiatric conditions and undergoing treatment for the same were excluded. The Occupational Stress Index was administered to assess different types of occupational stressors. The statistical analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20 software. A descriptive analysis and a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to get meaningful results.
Results: Results revealed that 40% of the middle-aged professionals reported experiencing minimal levels of occupational stress, followed by 32.2% experiencing moderate levels and 27.8% experiencing high levels of occupational stress. Additionally, it was found that a significantly higher percentage (91.6%) of banking professionals reported low levels of occupational stress compared to their counterparts. Eighty percent of marketing professionals reported experiencing high levels of occupational stress, whereas a majority (73.3%) of teaching professionals reported moderate levels of occupational stress.
Conclusion: Occupational stress with different severity levels is found to be common among middle-aged professionals, which is a risk factor to develop mental health problems and affects well-being. Large-scale primary and secondary interventions are required to manage stress and facilitate professional growth and development in India.
