Stress Management in an IT Professional Crisis

Abstract

Professionals in the realm of information technology (IT) face a persistent strain stemming from various sources. They're compelled to deliver results that meet targets and budget constraints, which often translates into tight deadlines and lengthy work hours. This pressure, coupled with concerns about job security and the struggle to maintain a work-life balance, contributes to mounting stress levels among them. Unfulfilled career aspirations add another layer to this burden, fostering psychological and health issues. Consequently, this stress dampens their initiative, diminishes their commitment, and saps their motivation, thereby negatively impacting their performance. The prevalence of stress among IT professionals is a topic of significant attention and concern.
