Abstract

This study investigated the influence of marital status and work role on job stress among female bankers. 177 (one hundred seventy-seven) participants comprising 89 operational and 88 marketing female bankers between the ages of 24 to 42 years (M = 31.04; SD = 4.20years). They were sampled using purposive sampling technique. A 15 – item Job Related Tension inventory (JTI) developed by Kahn et al. (1964) was used in collecting the data. A cross – sectional was adopted while 2x2 ANOVA F-test for unequal sample was applied as a statistics in testing the hypotheses. The result revealed that marital status F(1, 173) = .243, p>.622 and work role F(1,173) = 3. 244, p>.073 had no significant influence on female bankers’ job stress manifestation. The findings were discussed considering the fact that banking as a profession is inherently stressful. Based on the outcomes, it was concluded that marital status and work role had no remarkable influence on job stress manifestation among female bankers. It was recommended that employers in the banking sector should take steps towards identifying factors that contribute to job stress in the banking sector and controlling them.
