Stress is a pervasive and multifaceted phenomenon characterized by Physical, emotional, and psychological responses to perceived challenges or threats. It can stem from various sources, such as job-related demands, personal relationships, and external pressures, which may affect an individual’s overall well-being and health. Effective stress management is crucial for maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle. It involves identifying stressors, developing coping strategies, and employing techniques to mitigate the negative effects of stress. This study aims to examine the differences in stress management levels between male and female workers. The sample consisted of 60 working employees, 30 male and 30 female above 25 years. A sample was taken from the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, using the Stress Management level scale developed by Arora and Kaushik (2011). The t-test was performed to determine the gender difference in stress management levels among working males and females. The results indicated no significant difference in stress management levels between male and female workers.
