One of the most dynamic and quickly changing industries in the modern global economy is information technology (IT). It has a big impact on how modern society has developed, influencing how people connect, communicate, and work. However, there are difficulties associated with working in the IT sector. High levels of mental alertness, ongoing education, lengthy workdays, strict deadlines, and the capacity to adjust to rapid technology advancements are all requirements of the job. IT workers frequently experience stress as a result of these expectations. The body's reaction to any pressure or difficulty is stress. It is a normal response to challenging or dangerous circumstances, but if it persists over time, it can cause major physical and mental health issues. A certain amount of stress can boost motivation and performance, but too much or poorly handled stress can have the opposite impact. Unrealistic project deadlines, employment instability brought on by automation or outsourcing, high customer expectations, and the ongoing strain to keep up with technology improvements are just a few of the particular stressors that IT workers frequently deal with. Stress no longer only affects high-level executives or certain tasks in today's fast-paced workplace; it now impacts workers at all levels. Both short-term stressors, like project deadline pressure, and long-term stressors, such burnout or a lack of work-life balance, can affect IT workers. Additional factors that can impact stress levels include organizational culture, workload, interpersonal connections at work, and personal responsibilities.
