The present study was aimed to compare the attitude of the males and females towards gender difference. The study was based on the sample of 200 males and females selected on the basis of availability from urban areas of Rohtak. A self structured interview schedule was employed to conduct the survey for empirical data collection. The findings of the study are clearly indicating that the son is being more preferred by the females as compared to males. The preference for male child has been traditionally strong in India since historical time. However, India which is characterized by variations in its economic, social and cultural environment of sub-continental, proportions depicts substantial variations in the degree of son preference in different parts of the country. Son preference is quite strong in the northern plains as well as in central upland regions and it diminishes gradually as one moves towards South of the Satpura hill range and attains the low levels in Tamil Nadu. In the East, West Bengal, Assam and North-eastern states is seen a relatively moderate degree of son preference.

Abstract

The relationships between job satisfaction and occupational stress were investigated as part of a larger study. The participants were the staff members of High schools selected through Randomize sampling. Three hundred and fifty six staff members from 100 High schools of Sabarkantha District of Gujarat state (India). There were nine job satisfaction and four occupational stress factors identified. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were utilized to investigate the hypothesized relationships. Moderate to strong correlations existed between most of the job satisfaction and occupational stress variables. However, multiple regressions revealed occupational stress to be the best predictor of only two job satisfaction variables. Occupational stress did, nevertheless explain considerable variance in other facets of job satisfaction. The results hold implications for school systems and school administrators.
