Stress is an inevitable part of working life within any organization and military is not an exception. Active duty military personnel were found to have poor mental and physical health compared to veterans and reserve personnel. The present study aims to study the stress level among military personnel in the Indian Army and to study the individual and institutional coping mechanism to deal with the stress among military personnel. A standardized questionnaire has been used in order to collect data from respondents. Stratified random sampling technique has been used to collect sample from 611 respondents, who are only PBOR i.e. JCOs and Other Ranks (OR), which are picked from various battalions, arm and service. The results express that the Role Ambiguity (RA) level is highest as PBOR are often given additional and vague tasks over and above their generic role. The results show that the Resource Inadequacy level is highest because whenever PBOR are assigned a task he is generally not upfront assigned adequate resources and funds. He has to follow a tedious funding procedure, long chain of command and the hierarchical structure of the organization, which control the funds and resources. The study recommends that work culture and environment in the Army needs to be reviewed de-nova, as PBOR avoid meeting their bosses if they have not been able to work as per their expectations. Superiors should also assign tasks to their subordinates depending on their capability, aptitude and experience. An informal and interactive approach, time permitting, will help in aligning the bosses view, his own understanding of the issue and the organizational requirement. Adherence to SOPs, clear orders/instructions/briefings, awareness of standards of behavior in any organization is a must and needs to be strengthened in the Army too.
