Stress, Social Support, Job Attitudes and Job Outcome Across Gender

-- Niharika Gaan,
Stress (role ambiguity, role conflict and work overload), social support (supervisory support and team support), job attitudes (organizational commitment and job satisfaction), and job outcome (turnover intention) across gender were studied among 240 information system professionals. The results demonstrate that women experience higher role ambiguity and supervisory support. Job attitudes and job outcome do not differ across gender. Further, the results do not confirm the findings of the earlier studies, as it asserts that role ambiguity is positively and significantly related to organizational commitment and job satisfaction. The implications of research and practice have been discussed thereafter.
