IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL ROLE STRESSORS ON AFFECT AND RELATIONSHIP QUALITY OF AN EMPLOYEE

Abstract

The current study was conducted to investigate the relationship between organizational role stressors on affect and relationship quality of an employee. During the study three different tests were used namely organizational role stressors scale, Positive and negative affect schedule to assess role stressor’s impact on affect and quality of relation inventory to understand the effect of stressors on relationship quality. The sample of 104 employees was collected via snowball sampling method. The collected data was analyzed with the help of SPSS software and t-test and two-tailed correlation was performed. The t-test assessed the effect of work experience on role stressors and the correlation helped to understand the relationship between organizational role stressors and affect of an employee and role stressors and quality of relationship. The study assumed there will be a significant difference in the role stressors based on work experience, there will be negative correlation between role stressors and affect and there will be a negative correlation between role stressors and quality of relationships as well. The result of the study showed that there is no such significant difference between role stressors based on work experience. Secondly it was observed a significant positive relationship between few components of organizational role stressors (Role stagnation, role expectation conflict, role erosion & role overload) and the positive emotion of an employee and there exists a significant positive relationship between all the aspects of organizational role stressors and negative emotion of an employee. Subsequently it was proved a significant positive relationship between four aspects of organizational role stressors (role stagnation, role expectation conflict, role erosion & role overload) and quality of relationship of an employee.
