The results revealed that the events which caused high stress in cent per cent of the panchayat development officers were, occurrence of sudden meetings followed by criticism by higher authority (87.77%). The cent per cent of the respondents said that, high stress due to poor infrastructure facilities like lack of electricity, office cabinets followed by chairs (52.22 %), water facility (46.66 %), separate rooms (44.44 %) and tables (35.55 %). About 78.88 per cent of stress was caused due to sleep disruption and 70 per cent stress was due to the participation in decision making followed by health problems such as head ache, back pain (64.44%) and due to the frequent transfer (47.77%). The least cause for stress was unpredictable happening (15.55 %). Majority of the panchayat development officers had high stress because of work demand stress (81.75%) and almost all panchayat development officers had very low job satisfaction (91.11%). Occupational stress and job satisfaction of panchayat development officers were significantly and positively related.
