Abstract
Organisational stressors as perceived by the veterinarians of the Department of
Animal Husbandry, Kerala, viz-a-viz their job and social commitment were studied.
Organisational stress on account of the dimensions organisational role, job
satisfaction, policies, inter personal relationship, communication, working condition
team work, security, autonomy, targets and structure were analysed . The dimension
organisational role stress however was also studied in terms of its component
dimensions inter role distance , role stagnation, role expectation conflict, role erosion,
role isolation, role overload, personal inadequacy, self role distance, role ambiguity
and resource inadequacy
Stress was the most on account of the dimensions job satisfaction followed
by team work, policy, autonomy, target, inter personal relationship, organisational
structure, communication, work condition, security and organisartional role stress in
that order. Job commitment was found positively correlated with stress due to
dimensions target, autonomy, policy and security where as negatively correlated with
stress due to the dimensions organisational role stress, job satisfaction, team work
and structure.
Among component dimensions of organisational role stress role overload
was perceived as the dominant stressor followed by resource inadequacy, inter role
distance, role stagnation, self role distance, role isolation, personal inadequacy, role
expectation conflict, role ambiguity and role erosion in that order . Further it was
revealed that role stress factors inter role distance was positively correlated whereas
role stagnation,role expectation conflict, self role distance, personal inadequacy and
role ambiguity were negatively correlated with job commitment.
As for social commitment, it was positively correlated with stress on account of
dimensions job satisfaction, interpersonal relationship, work condition, organisational
structure, team work and policy whereas negatively correlated with communication.
Social commitment was positively correlated with stress due to component
dimensions of organisational role inter role distance and role overload whereas
negatively correlated with role stagnation.
