The Impact Of Occupation Stress On The Mental Health Of Women Employees In The It Sector In Accordance With Demographic Variables

Abstract

In this study, many demographic factors like age, experience, duration of service, hierarchy, income, and marital status are taken into account as the paper attempts to understand the effects of job-related stress impacting the well-being of women workers in the information technology (IT) industry. The fast-paced and demanding nature of the work environment common in the IT sector has been linked to higher-than-average employee stress levels. Due to societal expectations and job realities, women in particular may encounter specific difficulties. In addition to examining how demographic factors like age, marital status, educational attainment, job role, and years of experience may affect this association, the goal of this study is to investigate the link between occupational stress and mental health among women in the information technology industry. This study explores the level of occupational stress faced by women working in the IT industry, focusing light on the particular pressures and stressors they experience at work. The study investigates how workplace stress affects the mental health of women in the IT industry, looking at possible outcomes like anxiety, depression, burnout, and general psychological wellness. Age, marital status, educational background, hierarchy, and years of experience are among the demographic parameters that are examined for their possible impact on the association between occupational stress and mental health. In order to understand how societal norms, gender roles, and workplace dynamics may increase or lessen the effects of professional stress on mental health, the study takes into account the sociocultural framework in which women in the IT industry function.
