Occupational stress has emerged as a critical challenge in modern organizations due to rapid industrialization, globalization, technological advancement, and intense competition. Employees across sectors are subjected to increased workloads, strict deadlines, role conflicts, job insecurity, and performance pressure. Prolonged exposure to such occupational stress not only affects job performance and satisfaction but also significantly increases employees’ vulnerability to physical, psychological, and behavioral health problems.
The present study aims to examine the impact of occupational stress on the health vulnerability of employees. The study focuses on identifying the major sources of occupational stress, assessing the level of stress experienced by employees, and analyzing its influence on physical health issues, mental health problems, and lifestyle-related disorders. A descriptive research design was adopted, and primary data were collected from 200 employees working in service and corporate organizations using a structured questionnaire. Statistical tools such as percentage analysis, mean score analysis, correlation analysis, and simple ranking techniques were used for data interpretation.
