Abstract: The project investigates the impact of the organisational stressors on the organisational commitment of the employees working at the London City Airport, UK. This cross-sectional research considered the literature of the last five decades to investigate the research problem however, for the purpose of analysis the literature is mainly from last one decade. The theories and models of stress are evaluated along with the antecedents of the organisational commitment. Using mixed methodology, total 38 survey respondents and 12 interviews were conducted through non-probability (quota and convenience) sampling technique. The Pearson Correlation confirmed that the organisational stressors have strong significant positive relationship with normative commitment (=0.91), moderate relationship with continuance commitment (=0.56) and weak positive relationship with affective commitment (=0.42). Additionally, the results confirmed that organisational stressors affect the organisational commitment of the males and females differently. Males have higher normative commitment while females have higher affective and continuance commitment. Additionally, results confirmed that task demands highly affect males whereas females are commonly affected by interpersonal relations. Lastly, the consequences of stress also vary for males and females as males showed higher behavioural symptoms (43%) while females exhibited psychological symptoms (57%). The recommendations are proposed at the end of the research.
