Abstract: This study included 144 doctors and nurses from two age groups (more than 35 years and less than 35 years) from two categories (general and neuro sciences), from 9 hospitals. They were administered the Organizational Role Stress Scale (Dr. Udai Pareek, 1983) along with another data sheet. The results reveal that profession has a major effect on the experience of occupational role stress. Of the ten types of ORS, it has an important effect on eight of them, viz., role expectations conflict, role erosion, role overload, role isolation, personal inadequacy, self role distance, role ambiguity, role inadequacy. Inter role distance is one type which does not seem to be affected by any of the three variables studied either alone or in combination with one another. Nurses seemed to be more stressed than doctors on the whole.
