Abstract

The present study was undertaken with the intention of examining the nature of role stress and job satisfaction among doctors, and to explore the relationship between these variables. A group of 35 junior doctors working at the primary health centres and another group of 35 senior doctors attached to various district level hospital served as sample of the study. To attain the objectives of the study, two psychometric instruments – the Organizational Role Stress Scale(Pareek, 1983) and the Employees’ S-D Inventory (Pestonjee, 1981) – were administered to the sample population to obtain data pertaining to role stress and job satisfaction variables. The data were analysed in terms of the t-test and coefficients of correlation. Results of the study revealed no significant differences between the two groups except in the case of management area of job satisfaction and inter-role distance (IRD) dimension of role stress. Further, job satisfaction variables correlated negatively with all the dimensions of role stress in the case of both groups.
