Abstract

The employment landscape in India is undergoing structural changes. The largest employers in India are no longer companies in the manufacturing domain but in the IT and BPO domains. Employees working in the IT industry all are termed as Gold Collar Employees. Stress among them is now-a-days increasing due to competition, conflicting expectations from peers, team leaders or clients, etc. They go through a lot of anxiety, depression and loneliness because of their work environment, and often exhibit feelings or inadequacy, lowered self esteem and dissatisfaction. This article examines the relation between organizational role stress (ORS) and demographics of 300 IT professionals working in Chennai city. The ORS scale designed by Udai Pareek was used to study the above. The results show that there is high stress level. Further it was found that there exists a relation between martial status and ORS. The stress among females is due to role isolation, inter role distance and role overload.
