Large costs associated with employee turnover due to stress among the offshore
worker can be related to the individual and organisation factors. This article presents
the relationship between individual and organisational factors toward occupational
stress of off-shore worker. A quantitative method has been carried out to investigate
the relation of interpersonal relationship, job characteristics, and organizational role
toward stress among the operators in an offshore platform. Set of data has been
gathered from respective respondents, then analysed using Statistical Package for
Social Science (SPSS) version 21.0. For the credential, the data were initially tested for
its reliability, then were analysed using frequency analysis, Pearson's correlation
analysis, coefficient regression analysis and SWOT analysis. The findings indicate that
job characteristics, interpersonal relationship, organizational role have a significant
influence toward the occupational stress. However, this study shows that
organizational role is identified as major contribution to the occupational stress of the
offshore workers. A few recommendations to manage stress among the workers have
been identified. It is expected that this could reduce the number worker of turnover
due to stress.
