Abstract

When employees are given work demands that are not compatible with their knowledge, skills, or talents, it can cause a pattern of reaction that tests their capacity for adjustment. It could result in physiological, psychological and behavioural problems. The administrative support staff’s working in private hospitals located in Palayamkottai were selected for the study. The researcher confined to do the research by giving equal weightage to each category of administrative support staff i.e. menial job workers, technical and non-technical workers in private hospitals. The questionnaire was structured with socio-demographic characteristics like age, education, marital status, years of experience, work hours in a day and measure the occupational stress of the administrative support staff by analysing the physiological problems, behavioural problems and psychological problems. Menial job workers are having all the physiological, psychological and behavioural problems. So, the hospital management and outsourcing manpower agencies should give proper orientation to the workers with cope up strategies to manage occupational stress.
