Abstract
A recently appeared continuum ‘individual action propensity’ that ranges from thinking before acting to acting before thinking has been identified to help understand, how individuals differ in their approaches towards problems, particularly in situations where they lack knowledge and/or experience. This study has explored and examined this construct in light of key demographic diversity characteristics and has further studied its relationship with employee job stress. The results are based on a survey conducted on the 290 doctors and nurses through purposive sampling. The structural equation modelling (SEM) technique has been used, the results indicate that individual action propensity is higher in women and decreases with higher formal education. Besides, individual action propensity has been found to be positively associated with job stress. The study also discusses practical and theoretical contributions; limitations and future directions.
