The major objective of this project was to study causes, signs/symptoms of stress and coping strategies used by employees for adjustment with their vocational and personal environment. For this purpose, the normative survey method was used to collect information from 400 employees (200 men & 200 women). Information was collected through general information blanks and other psychological tests such as- Frustration test by Chaudhary & Tiwari and Employee-Stress Report Form (stress scale) developed by the investigator self. This study revealed that women use more resignation and aggression modes of frustration (reactions to stress) in stressful situations as compared to men employees. Men show more mental, physical and emotional symptoms of stress than women. It also revealed women exhibit behavioral and depressive symptoms in stressful condition as compared to men.
