Abstract: The Purpose of this study is to compare self-efficacy, stress at work and professional quality of life (ProQoL) among industrial and bank employees in order to discover the patterns specific to each sector and the underlying causes that can contribute to the disparities in these structures. The survey included 200 people (100 from industry and 100 from banks). A systematic questionnaire was used to collect data, including GSE, work-related stress scale (JSS), professional quality of life scale (ProQuoL 5). The data was entered into SPSS and a comparative analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics and correlation analyses. Job stress has had significant negative impact on the quality of life (r = -0.830, p 0.01), indicating that high levels of job stress are related to lower quality of life. Furthermore, the strongest association was found between Job Stress and life quailty, as well as between the two categories. The study emphasizes the interconnection of the three factors in various working contexts, emphasizing the importance of stress management interventions in the workplace. Overall, the findings suggest that promoting self-efficiency could be an effective technique for boosting employee well-being and reducing stress in both sectors.
