Abstract

The present study aims at assessing antecedents of job stress among  employees of State Bank of India (SBI) operating in the Cachar district  of Assam, taking into account gender, designation, and job experience.  The findings reveal that male bank employees experience more job related stress than their female counterparts. Furthermore, employees  in managerial positions exhibit higher stress levels than clerks,  primarily due to role overload and poor relationships with other staff.  Regarding job experience, the results indicate that employees with less  than five years of experience endure a significant amount of stress,  particularly related to role ambiguity, role conflict, group politics, and  unfavorable working conditions.
