The employees in academics and industry are facing increased levels of stress as they progress through their work. The study aims to investigate the relationship between academic and industry employees’ stress personalities. West Coast psychological consultants Mary Dempcy and Rene Tihista distinguish between the seven various types of stress and offer suggestions to deal with it. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the authors have built a survey questionnaire using a sample of 195 respondents from the industry and academic of North India and analysed their responses to find their stress personalities at work. The Independent sample t-test approach has been applied to analyse the employee stress personality. Findings The study finds out that stress is a sophisticated defence mechanism that is unique to each individual and varies depending on the environment. Using employee response of academic and industry, the study covers the essence of seven types of stress for individuals, and that lent good support to the framed hypothesis. Research limitations/implications These seven types of stress have importance and different levels to knowing their appropriateness to the individuals and suggest to take necessary action of plan. It shows the individuals feel about stress, how the bodies react to it and how to cope with it are all indicators of the personalities, attitudes and adaptability. Originality/value The novelty of this study is to apply Mary Dempcy and Rene Tihista’s stress personalities compared with the two respective categories.

“…, 2010). The KMO values refer to check the sampling is adequate or not, and we found the satisfaction level at 0.5 (Kumar et al. , 2022b; Kaiser and Rice, 1974).…”

“…A high KMO implies the presence of a statistically appropriate factor solution that represents the parameters' relationships (Shieh et al, 2010). The KMO values refer to check the sampling is adequate or not, and we found the satisfaction level at 0.5 (Kumar et al, 2022b;Kaiser and Rice, 1974) In the next round, the second questionnaire is prepared for collaboration, committed leadership, competency and quality culture, which is measured by the AHP method. The importance of these variables is identified to measure excellent performance hence, an AHP-based research methodology has been proposed to assign the criterion weights and prioritize the identified variables.…”

“…The reliability is measured with Cronbach's alpha (alpha value is 0.875), which represents excellent internal consistency (Kumar et al, 2022b). The KMO sample adequacy index (between 0 and 1) indicates the fraction of variance among variables that may represent common variance (i.e.…”

A citizen-centric approach to understand the effectiveness of e-government web portals: Empirical evidence from India

“…The statistics indicate the descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) of various factors promoting the e-government portal by the respondent, their e-Gov service QP, CS, and users' intention (UI). Cronbach's alpha is by far the most popular measure of reliability (Jha et al, 2022;Kumar & Sharma, 2017b;Kumar & Sharma, 2017c;Kumar et al, 2022). It is observed that out of six factors identified, system stability (SS) has scored the highest mean of 3.9144 with a standard deviation (SD) = 0.60848, and the reliability (α) of this factor was found to be 0 0.756.…”
