Organizational role stress and branch managers

Abstract

Till recently, the designation “bank manger” used to evoke the image of relaxed, well dressed executive occupying a plush office. Commanding an army of white collar workers and enjoying the remuneration and perks which could be the envy of any highest paid civil servants. Deposits flowed in effortlessly; advances were given only to higher trusted parties. “Stress” would not be a subject matter to discuss in such a work environment.
