| Description |
After decades of economic stagnation, the private sector has assumed critical significance as a generator of employment and as a contributor to the economy of a country. It is a known fact that employees working in the private sector are encompassing stress-related problems and many have imbibed coping techniques. The empirical study, based on a sample size of 450 executives in the three regions of Kerala spread across insurance, IT and banking sectors, aims to assess the causes of stress and its effects among executives in the private insurance, IT and banking sectors in Kerala (India). The study observed that though the causes of stress are different in these three sectors, work-related causes viz. working under pressure, monotonous and meaningless task, and long and unsocial hours are the major causes of stress among executives. The study also found a positive effect of stress on the psychological, physical and occupational levels of executives.
