ABSTRACT
Stress is defined as any condition or characteristic of work environment which threatens the individual’s psychological and physiological homeostasis. Stress is the non-specific response of the body to any demand for change (Hans Selye, 1936). Occupational stress is the harmful physical and emotional responses that can happen when there is a conflict between job demands of the employee and the amount of control an employee has over meeting these demands. Stress can occur in a wide range of work circumstances but it become worse when employees feel they have little social support which comes from supervisors and colleagues, as well as little control over work processes. There is confusion between pressure or challenge and stress and sometimes it is used to excuse bad management practice. The aim of the present study was to study influence of marital status on occupational stress among married and unmarried private bank employees. Convenience sampling method was used to select 60 male participants, working in private banks. The participants were administered OSI questionnaire. Independent sample t-test as part of the inferential statistics procedure. Results showed there is no significant difference between married and unmarried males on their levels of occupational stress and the mean of unmarried men found to be higher than the married men.
