The purpose of this study was to (1) test the effects of various demographic and socioeconomic variables on perceived stress among bank managers in both work and nonwork environments and (2) to ascertain whether the correlation is significant between perceived stress in the work and nonwork environments among the same bank managers. Significant differences were found between genders, among management levels, and among age groups. A multiple linear regression test showed a positive relationship between perceived stress at work and away from work.
