Abstract Introduction: Management is one of high stress occupations but little attention has been paid to occupational stresses among manufacturing managers. Objective: The goal of this study is to determine the epidemiological pattern of occupational stress among 70 SIPA industrial companies. Materials and Methods: Stress was assessed according to different criteria’s with a self- completed questionnaire in-group meetings. Results: Mean age of samples (440 managers) was 43.6 years (SD= 7.3) and their mean job experience was 12.1 years (SD=7.7) the level of occupational stress was 49.5%. The top four stressors were stress due to decision making at work (99.1%), time pressure (97.3%), and time- table and scheduling (73.5%). There was a significant difference between overall occupational stress of managers and age (P=0.001) and younger managers were more at risk of occupational stresses. Conclusion: Occupational stresses have undesirable effect on people and it is necessary to control and prevent stress among young managers by proper interventional programs on personal and institutional level.
