Abstract

Stress among expatriates has been studied from various perspectives. The present study attempts to assess the occupational stress experienced by Indian expatriates working in Sultanate of Oman, and stress experienced by Indians working in India. The sample of 573 Indians working in Sultanate of Oman and 302 employees working in their motherland, Mumbai, India were selected. A.K. Srivasatava and A.P. Singh’s occupational stress index was used to measure the stress experienced by the Indians working in the Sultanate of Oman and those working in India. The results show that Indian females working in Sultanate of Oman experience more stress than their counterparts working in India. Personnel having post‐graduate qualifications working in Sultanate of Oman experience more stress than their counterparts working in India, and Indian expatriates over the age of 45 who are working in Sultanate of Oman experience more stress than their counterparts working in India.
