Stress is not a new word. Our ancestors too were not free from stress. They experienced it due to the unpredicted natural phenomenon, and that is why it was regarded as 'Age Of Uncertainty'. Whereas our stress in the present world is mainly due to overdemands and expectations. Hence it is considered the 'Age Of Anxiety'. With the development of psychology the terms 'Occupational Stress' got importance and researchers and psychologists worked on it. They have listed a lot of causes for it and have given a lot of suggestions to minimize it. Occupational Stress is the negative psychological and physical effects an employee experiences due to the responsibilities, environment, or other pressures of the work place. Here we are focussing on Occupational Stress among working women in relation to their personality patterns. In this study Occupational Stress Index (OSI) constructed and standardised by Srivastava and Singh to measure the occupational stress and Dhar and Jain's Type A/B Behavioural Pattern Scale (ABBPS) to know the personality patterns.
