Abstract The banking sector has experienced tremendous technological and organizational transformations thus increasing job stress especially to the women employees who are usually exposed to supplementary work and role pressures. It is on this backdrop that the current research seeks to analyze the impact of psychological empowerment on the job-associated stress among the women workforce in the banking industry in the Gwalior region. Primary data is collected from 180 women who work for public, commercial, and new generation banks through a standardized questionnaire. The study design adopted is quantitative and cross-sectional. Workplace stress factors include perceived workload, role conflict, role ambiguity, and work pressure, whereas psychological empowerment is measured along four dimensions: meaning, competence, self-determination, and influence. The data is analyzed using several statistical methods, including reliability analysis, multiple regression, Pearson correlation, and descriptive statistics. Psychological empowerment appears to have a strong negative link with job stress, with higher levels of empowerment being associated with lower levels of stress among bank employees who identify as female. In addition, regression analysis shows that self-determination and meaning dimensions negatively affect work-related stress in a substantial and significant way, while competence has a marginal impact that is not statistically significant. The study found that one-way managers may help banking women deal with stress on the job and enhance their mental health is by promoting psychological empowerment. This includes giving employees more say in how they spend their workdays and the decisions they make.
Keywords Psychological empowerment, Job-related stress, Women employees, Banking sector, Gwalior region.
