The present research explored factors causing work-place stress and coping strategies in security guards
working in universities. This study used qualitative research design with a sample consisting of 11 guards
working in a university. Their ages ranged between 23 and 50 years. A purposive sampling technique was used
to select participants. A semi-structured interview schedule was developed and administered for the purpose of
data collection. Analysis of data was done by using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The
results showed that job stressors relating to job role like duty hours and low income were most prevalent among
guards. Furthermore, the most prevalent coping mechanisms employed by guards were religious coping and
acceptance. Owing to the increased incidents of terrorism in our country, the results of this research hold useful
implications for any development needed in this profession and/or providing more benefits for security guards
in future to improve their performance and hence, security of the institution.
