Occupational stress has become a major concern of modern times as it can cause harm to employee's health and performance. Stress occurs when the pressure is greater than the resources, as it is the body's way of responding to any kind of demand. It can be caused by bad experiences in women employees. The objective of this study is to analyze the demographic profile of women employees in public sector banks, to identify the sources of stress experienced by women employees in public sector banks, and to analyze the problems faced by women employees.
