Abstract
The ability to handle the stress is largely dependent on the various personality factors. One such factor is locus of control (LOC). Over the past years, it has been indicated that persons who have internal LOC are able to manage the stress more effectively than the one’s having external LOC. The findings of the present study proved otherwise. The results of this study showed that moderate levels of both internal and external control decrease the levels of role stress. The study was conducted in the healthcare sector. Doctors from government hospitals were approached and data collected from them was subjected to ‘hierarchical moderated regression analysis’. The findings of this study can assist administrators and policymakers in the healthcare sector to provide a stress-free working climate. This may help to decrease side effects and consequences of role stress and increase productivity of doctors. In light of the findings of the study, a few Stress management interventions have also been proposed, which may help doctors develop healthy ‘stress coping styles’.
