ANOVA and post-hoc tests were applied to analyze the data.…”

This study investigated perceived occupational stress among some graduate employees in Nigeria as consequence of work experience and educational qualification. The study uses the positivist explanatory cross-sectional (survey) research design, and a structured and validated questionnaire to systematically sample opinions of 1,532 male and female graduate employees across the various sectors of the nation's economy. Moreover, hypotheses were stated and tested using T-test of Independent Groups and One-way Analysis of Variance. The results of the statistical analysis showed that graduate employees with more work experience expressed a significant higher level of occupational stress than their counterparts with less work experience (t = 4.43, df (1530) p <.01). The results also showed that there is a significant interaction effect of Bachelor's Degree (B.Sc), Higher National Diploma (HND), and Postgraduate on occupational stress F (2, 1529) = 3.26; P < .05. This is evident in the mean X scores of participants across the three groups of educational qualification-B.Sc

For example, younger age groups (20-30 years) having service tenure of <10 years suffer highest from stress in their lives 22 . Actually, with increasing age and service, individuals become more mature and develop coping mechanisms which help them manage their stress in a better way.…”

BACKGROUND: The Information Technology and Information Technology Enabled Services (IT and ITES) industry has been the backbone of the Indian economy. The sector is characterized by long working hours, strict deadlines, night shift, constant usage of computers, etc. Hence, the industry and nature of the job are influencing the psychological risk factors of the employees. PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to explore the psychological risk factors (job stressors) of technocrat millennials and critically analyze them from the socio-demographic perspective. METHODS: A single cross-sectional study with snowball sampling was collected from 300 technocrat millennials in Ahmedabad city (India). Job stressors are examined as psychological risk factors. MANOVA and independent-sample t-test has been put to use for establishing the relationship between psychological risk factors and socio-demographic variables. RESULTS: The study highlighted that the experience, current position, size of family, number of children, gender, and family type had an impact on psychological risk factors of technocrat millennials. CONCLUSIONS: The study contributes to the literature on the psychological risk factors and its association with demographic variables, and specifically in Ahmedabad city (India). Income did not have an impact on psychological risk factor; whereas education was the only demographic variable affecting the responsibility for persons. The experience influenced the role overload, role ambiguity, poor peer relations, and intrinsic impoverishment. The study explained each socio-demographic variable’s impact on 12 psychological risk factors separately. The result of the paper will give insight to HR managers in the recruitment and selection of employees.
