The present study was conducted in three metro and three non-metro cities of Haryana state. One private and one government hospital were selected from each city. From each hospital 15 doctors and 15 nurses were selected at random, thus 30 healthcare workers from each hospital and a total of 360 respondents were selected. Occupational stress of healthcare workers was assessed by the Professional Life-stress Scale by Fontana (1989). Organizational climate of healthcare workers was assessed by the Organizational climate Scale by Pethe et al. (2001). Results revealed that significant difference for results, rewards, and interpersonal relation (t=4.07**), Organizational processes (t=3.41**), clarity of roles and sharing of information (t=4.07**) along with altruistic behavior (t=3.92**). Mean score comparison highlighted that the mean scores of doctors were higher than their counterparts which showed better organizational climate perceived by doctors as compared to nurses. Further, results also depicted that significant and positive correlation of results, rewards, and interpersonal relations with occupational stress of government hospitals (r=0.24**) and results, rewards, and interpersonal relations with occupational stress of metro cities respondents (r=0.17*). The findings from this study highlight the complex and multifaceted nature of the relationship between organizational climate and occupational stress in the healthcare sector. While some aspects, such as results, rewards, and interpersonal relations, may contribute to increased stress levels in certain contexts, the overall picture suggests that a more holistic approach to addressing occupational stress is necessary.
