The present study explored the effects of occupational role stress on psychological well-being and work motivation of medical professionals in Pakistan. The sample consisted of medical professionals including physicians and nurses from both public and private hospitals. Standardized measures such as Occupational Role Stress Scale, Psychological Well-being Scale, and Work Preference Inventory were used. The findings revealed significant negative correlation between occupational role stress and psychological well-being, and significant relationships between different dimensions of stress and work motivation. Differences were also observed between professionals working in public and private sectors. The results highlight the impact of occupational stress on mental health and motivation of medical professionals.
