Abstract:

“Having a job in many ways improves an individual's health and overall attitude toward life." However, many people face significant stress in the workplace that it outweighs any possible benefits and even pose a threat to their health; it causes poor mental health too. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health defines job stress as the harmful physical and emotional responses that occur when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker. Job stress can, in turn, lead to poor health and even injury. so for this study the main objective was to evaluate the degree of occupational stress, work satisfaction, and mental health among government and private sector employees. In terms of a variety of work-related factors, it was anticipated that government and private sector employees would differ significantly. Employees' job happiness and mental health are impacted by these factors. Understanding the organisational differences between mental health, job happiness, and occupational stress was crucial in this situation. 480 employees from both the public and commercial sectors were chosen as a sample by the investigator for this purpose age group of 30 to 40 years. Data gathering tools included the Occupational Stress Index, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Mental Health Scale. The means, standard deviation, and F tests were used to analyse the data. The results of the current study showed that compared to private employees, government workers have superior mental health and job satisfaction.
