Gender permeates every aspect of life, but it is especially salient to the work environment. Gender differences in the workplace typically stem from social factors, which influence the behaviours of men and women in the workplace, which may involve physical, emotional and psychological factors. Work stress usually conceptualized as work–role conflict, work-role, overload, and work-role ambiguity. Stress in the workplace is a major problem of occupational health and safety risk throughout the world. Gender inequality in the workplace is experienced across many organizations and manifests itself in a multitude of different ways. The perceived differences in physical, psychological, and social conditions amongst men and women in the workplace can create various sources of occupational stress. This paper made an attempt to find out the causes of stress, its consequences and coping strategies adopted by female employees as compared to their male counterparts and offers new directions for future research with reference to gender-sensitivity in workplace stress.
