In the financial industry, there is a high demand for employees to possess all the necessary skills and motivation to perform highly specialized functions, and handle demands that accompany increasing stress levels.
The aim of the research was to determine whether there is a relationship between work and non-work stressors and work-life balance in the Global Market Trading industry.
A cross-sectional survey design was used, with a sample of 72 global market trading professionals drawn from a financial institution in Gauteng. Two questionnaires and a biographical questionnaire were administered. The questionnaires proved to be reliable.
The power of the study was calculated. Descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation was used to organise, summarise and describe the data.
The findings of the study show that as global market trading professional’s intrinsic factors at work and stress regarding their personal time increases, their experience of negative WHI increase as well. === Industrial and Organisational Psychology === M.Com.
