Occupational stress is the word used to describe how stress at work can cause psychological, behavioural, or physiological symptoms as well as long-term health implications. Frontline employees' levels of stress have increased significantly after the COVID 19 outbreak. Although the distribution of duties varies according to hierarchical level, stress is prevalent at all levels. The goal of this research study is to investigate the amount of occupational stress experienced by Rajasthan police officers who are gazetted and non-gazetted. This study is based on a sample of 120 participants, 60 male officers who were gazetted and 60 male who were non gazetted. The Occupational Stress Index (OSI), developed by Dr. A. K. Srivastava and A. P. Singh of the Psychology Department at Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, was used to quantify occupational stress. In the present study the Mean, S.D and t-test were applied for data analysis. The results reveal that the t-value of gazetted and non-gazetted police personnel was not found significant at 0.05 level of confidence therefore hierarchy is not an influencing factor of occupational stress clearly indicating more power does not mean more stress. The level of occupational stress was found to be moderate in both the groups.
