"Enhancing Job Satisfaction Through Reduction In Occupational Stress Among Working Women In Lucknow: A Delicate Balance Of Work And Well-Being”

Abstract

This study investigates the intricate relationship between stress-reducing factors and job satisfaction among working women in Lucknow, India, titled "Enhancing Job Satisfaction Through Reduction in Occupational Stress Among Working Women in Lucknow: A Delicate Balance of Work and Well-being." Recognizing the detrimental effects of workplace stress on employee health and organizational productivity, the research aims to identify the factors influencing job satisfaction and stress levels among female employees.

Drawing from existing literature and employing an exploratory research design, the study utilizes a primary survey administered through structured questionnaires to 100 women educators in Lucknow. The data is analysed using correlation and regression techniques to examine the impact of both official and personal stress-reducing factors on job satisfaction.

The findings reveal that official stress-reducing factors significantly enhance job satisfaction among working women, highlighting the importance of organizational support and resources in managing workplace stress. However, contrary to expectations, personal stress-reducing factors demonstrate a significant negative impact on job satisfaction, suggesting the need for further investigation into the mechanisms underlying this relationship.

The study underscores the importance of organizational policies and practices in fostering a supportive work environment that addresses the unique stressors faced by female employees.
