Research regarding stress has primarily focused on coping styles of stress by individuals rather than on the role of the work environment as a major source of stress for an employee. One such industry which has undergone massive changes over the last ten years is the banking industry. The banking industry is the most important constituent of the financial sector of any economy. It is a major contributor to economic growth. Keeping this in mind the present study is an attempt to understand the impact and intricacies of occupational stress on employees in the banking sector so as to suggest suitable measures to be taken by the bank managements to have a competent, productive, and stress free workforce to meet the present and future challenges. Variables such as job stress, job satisfaction and job performance are used. The study uses statistical tools like regression, correlation and Mann Whitney test.
