Abstract

The study analysed the correlation between demographic variables, productivity and occupational stress of workers in electrical occupations. Two relevant research questions were answered while two hypotheses formulated were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a correlational research design and was carried out in North Central States. The population for the study was 301 workers in electrical occupations. The instrument for data collection was questionnaire titled Demographic Variables, Job Stress and Productivity Questionnaire (DVJSPQ). Three experts face- validated the instrument. The internal consistency of the questionnaire items was determined using Cronbach alpha reliability method and coefficients of 0.89 was obtained for Occupational Stress, 0.94 for Productivity of workers in electrical occupation. The overall reliability coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.96. Out of 301 copies of DVJSPQ administered, only 295 copies were completed representing 98.01 percent return rate. Point –biserial correlation and regression analysis were employed to analyse data for answering research questions and hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that: (i) demographic variables have weak and moderate relationship (r = -.140, -.226, -.130, .659) with job stress of workers. (ii) demographic variables have strong relationship (r= 973, 812, 933. 871) with productivity of workers in electrical occupations. (iv) demographic variables influenced job stress and productivity of workers in electrical occupations. Findings on hypotheses include that: (i) age and educational qualification were a significant moderator of the relationship between occupational stress and productivity of workers in electrical occupations (ii) year of experience and marital status were not a significant moderator of the relationship between occupational stress and productivity of workers in electrical occupations. Recommendations include that workers in electrical occupations should be sensitized through workshops and seminars on how demographic variables influence their productivity and job stress in their occupations.
