Stress Management of Women Employees Working in It Industry

Abstract

Stress is a common issue faced by employees in today's corporate world. Women employees, in particular, have to cope with a range of stressors due to a variety of reasons, such as juggling between personal and professional responsibilities, gender-based discrimination, unequal pay, and lack of career growth opportunities. The present study aimed to investigate the level of acceptance towards work-related factors, withdrawal-related factors, aggressive behavior-related factors, and psychological symptoms of women employees in a manufacturing company in India. The study used a quantitative research design, and a total of 200 women employees were recruited as participants using a convenient sampling technique. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire that consisted of five-point Likert scales. The results revealed that the majority of the respondents were aged between 18-25 and were equally distributed among male and female respondents. The company can empower staff to control their own workload and consider whether it is appropriate to provide additional support for staff during periods of change and uncertainty. The study also recommends that the company should create a supportive work environment, establish clear communication channels, and provide training and development programs to enhance the skills of women employees. Overall, the study provides useful insights for companies to create a conducive work environment that promotes the well-being of women employees, thereby enhancing their productivity and job satisfaction.
