Abstract
The present study was undertaken to see the effect of Sex role orientation on Organizational role stress among female government doctors. A total of 100 female government doctors from the state of Rajasthan served as sample for the study. To attain the objectives of the study, two psychometric instrumentsthe Bem Sex role Inventory (Bem 1981) and the Organisational Role Stress Scale (Pareek, 1981) were administered to the sample population to obtain data pertaining to the androgynous personality and organizational role stress variables. The data were analysed in terms of the t-test. The results of the study revealed that female government doctors with masculinity sex role orientation were significantly higher on inter-role distance stress as compared to female government doctors with androgynous and femininity sex role orientation. It was also found that female government doctors with undifferentiated sex role orientation were significantly higher on role overload as compared to female government doctors with androgynous sex role orientation.
