Abstract

Workplace stress is a common ailment that harms society, businesses, and individuals. People who work in the information technology industry are under higher stress because they must constantly refresh their knowledge. The purpose of this study is to examine the impacts of stress management intervention techniques on improving the well-being of IT professionals in the working environment. The recommended task is broken into two stages: The firststep is to collect the data using the prepared questionnaire from employees working in anorganization. 142 Data were collected using the prepared questionnaire from the supervisorsand managers of the selected four IT companies and the suggested hypothesis serves as the foundation for the questionnaire's design. The gathered data is assessed in the second phase using SEM, descriptive statistics, F-test, and correlation analysis. The results of the study indicate that mindfulness, resilience, psychological interventions, managerial grid training, and wellness programs significantly increase the well-being of IT professionals (p-values of 0.011, 0.018, 0.002, 0.005, and 0.003, respectively). In contrast, behavioral intervention, conflict management, and work role training programs had non-significant effects (p-values of 0.229, 0.102, and 0.063, respectively).
