The present study aimed to know the occupational stress among technical and non-technical working employees. It also aimed to check occupational stress with reference to types of employees and level of experience. The Occupational Stress Index prepared by Dr. A.K. Srivastava and Dr. A.P. Singh (1981) was used. The sample constituted total 160 employees out of which 80 were from types of employees (40 technical and 40 non-technical) and 80 from level of experience (1 to 5 years and More than 6 years). The data was collected from various industrial complies of Gujarat State. The data was scored, analyzed as per the manual. ‘F’ test was being calculated. The result showed that (1) There is no significant difference in the mean score of the occupational stress among technical and non-technical working employees. (2) There is significant difference in the mean score of the occupational stress among level of experience having 1 to 5 years and more than 6 years. Therefore the level of experience of 1 to 5 years in working employees is having more occupational stress than level of experience of more than 6 years in working employees. (3) There is no significant difference in the interactive effect of the mean score of the occupational stress of types of employees and level of experience.
