Abstract

This study seeks to understand the extent to which private sector managers respond to demands and expectations of globalisation. It examines the sources of their work stress and the influence of these stressors on employees' attitudes towards work and organisation. A sample of 221 Indian managers from the private sector was used in the study. Managers consider the most important sources of work stress to be lack of control and work life balance. Work relationships, control, nature of job and communications were found to be significantly related with work engagement and job satisfaction. Commitment was associated with relationships at the workplace. Intention to quit was significantly influenced by relationships, control, nature of job and resources. It is suggested that to enhance work engagement, job satisfaction, commitment and to lessen the intention to quit, managers need to actively monitor relationships at work, control, nature of job, resources and communication. These variables could assist in maintaining and increasing desirable attitudes towards work and organisation.
