An Assessment of Role Stress Experienced by Management Students in India- Suggestive Measures and Strategies

Consistent increase in the rate of psychosomatic and mental diseases and the feeling of dissatisfaction with life in general among majority of people in present day world very well reflects the ill consequences for high psychosocial stress being experienced by the present generation. In the recent years while on one hand the quality of life has increased on the other hand the stresses involved too have gone up. Stress thus becomes inevitable in life, and with increasing problems, aspirations and uncertainties associated with socio-economic, political and cultural upheavals, it is only likely to increase.

Though analysis of data on the basis of these variables does not show any significant statistical difference on any of the role stressor which means that the groups of role occupants in the management  education system find themselves struggling equally to meet the varied role demands. But on relative comparison the responses on the various dimensions can help in identifying possible stressors for college students which can eventually help in developing stress intervention programs for business school. Hence on the basis of the findings we shall discuss the various stressors and the possible associated factors that are presumed to be causing these.
