摘要：This study aimed to investigate the major stressors and the awareness levels these stressors among 106 employees of the mines and banks in the Tarkwa mining area of Ghana through questionnaire administration. The results showed that among employees of the mining industry, personality block was the most common occupational stressor. Drive, under the personality block was perceived as the most predominant source of stress among employees of the mining industry. Social balance was the major block of occupational stressor among employees of the banking industry. Social responsibility, which is an element of social balance block was perceived as the highest source of stress among the bankers. In general, the awareness level of the major stressors among employees of both industries was fairly low. It is therefore recommended that a comprehensive stress management program be adopted in both industries to help effectively manage occupational stress. Full Text
