Factors Affecting Perceived Work Life Stressors: A Study on Working Women with Special Reference to Indian Air Force

Abstract expand_more
Women who work in traditionally male-dominated fields and occupations continue to face problems due to various reasons. The cause of stress that these women have at work is not restricted to the type of job but also to stigmas that prevail in male dominated industries. The stress is caused due to various stressors –both physical and mental. This paper identifies key perceived stressors that prevail for women working in male dominated industries with special reference to Indian Airforce Women Officers. Organisations like Indian Airforce have opened several new opportunities for women in both operational and administrative branches. Though the organisation has left no stones unturned to remove bias or favouritism for majority groups like gentlemen officers, women working in this organisation feel stressed as minority groups. Total of 80 serving women officers of Indian Airforce volunteered to participate in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed 4 factors significantly contribute to perceived stressors for women in Indian Airforce and these are 1. Stereotype threats (perceived threat from majority), 2. Anticipated Rejection, 3. Stereotyping notions about majority (men), 4. Stigma Consciousness. Understanding of these perceived stressors might help both women employees and the organisation to develop a more friendly and healthy work environment. The validity of the study may extend to similar male dominated industries like other military organisations, aviation industry, oil and automobile industries etc.
