Effect of occupational stress on personal and professional life of bank employees in Bangladesh: do coping strategies matter

Summary/Abstract: Although many studies reflect the impact of occupational stress on job performance and job satisfaction, research on occupational stress in relation to life satisfaction or work-life balance is somewhat limited. The present study aims at investigating the impact of occupational stress on life satisfaction and work-life balance alongside job performance and job satisfaction of bank employees working in private commercial banks (PCBs) in Bangladesh. This study also attempts to analyze the moderating role of coping strategies between occupational stress and life satisfaction, work-life balance, job performance and job satisfaction. Data have been collected following a quantitative survey administered accommodating 204 employees serving in 15 different PCBs in Bangladesh, and analyzed employing a number of statistical techniques including correlation matrix and hierarchical regressions using version 20.0 of SPSS software. The results of testing hypotheses revealed that occupational stress has meaningful negative impact on life satisfaction and work-life balance as well as on job performance and job satisfaction. The present research has also found that coping strategies moderate the effect of occupational stress on life satisfaction or work-life balance. However, no mediating role of coping strategies between occupational stress and job performance or job satisfaction has been detected.
