| The present study explores the stress experienced by the IT professionals at DSM Software, Trichy. Software professionals begin their career with great expectations. But the work environment, the demands of the job, coupled with erratic work hours and long commitments, make it difficult for these professionals to divide their work-life equation evenly, and hence they are pushed to a state of stress. Totally 50 respondents were chosen by applying Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling Method. To measure the level of stress, functional role scale by A.K.Srivastava and A.Krishna was applied. |
