الملخص EN

this study aims to measure the level of work stressors in a sample of female employees of the Two Holy Mosques in relation to some demographic variables (e.g., educational level, age, years of experience, social status, and number of children)To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher employs the descriptive correlational approach to collect the data from a convenience sample that consists of 61 female employees of the Two Holy Mosques using the occupational stress scale for working women developed by Ibrahimi (2015).

The results of the study showed that the total score of the stress scale and its three dimensions were above the average among the participants.

The stressors were higher in three dimensions : the multiple roles of the employees, the work environment, and the nature of the work, relatively.

The results also revealed that no statistically significant differences were found between groups due to demographic variables, except for the educational level in which differences were found in the dimension of the nature of work, where the differences were in the group of vocational education's favor.

According to the results, the study recommends the need to conduct scientific research that may contribute to understanding the sources of work related stressors and factors related to the mental wellbeing of female employees.

The study also recommends developing preventive and curative guidance programs (either face-to-face or virtual), to help female employees deal with work stressors in order to increase their job satisfaction and improve their quality of work life.
