Abstract
In the current organizational environment, Information Technology (IT) is essential for strategic and operational planning. Organizations increasingly depend on the IT sector to enhance various aspects of their operations. The digital economy, driven by computerization and rapid advancements in electronic connectivity, is transforming business practices. This study aims to investigate the factors contributing to stress and their impact on the work performance of women employees in Bengaluru's IT companies. Understanding these stressors is critical as they have a direct effect on the performance of female employees. By examining elements such as workload, work-life balance, and interpersonal relationships, the research seeks to provide insights into their effects on job satisfaction and overall well-being. Recognizing the engagement and commitment of women in IT companies is vital for effectively addressing stress-related issues. Consequently, this study aims to analyze the determinants of stress and their impact on the work performance of women employees within Bengaluru's IT industry.
