The results of the study show a very strong correlation between the emotional intelligence of individuals vis a vis the variables that are associated with employment i.e. job satisfaction, job performance and engagement at work. The literature explains in depth about the internal emotional state of employees and how it has a direct impact on their job attitude. This research is important from the fact that it will help employers in the telecommunication industry to understand the factors which lead to positive and enhanced emotional intelligence since it will have a direct impact on overall organizational performance.
A Study on the Impact of Occupational Stress on Job Satisfaction of the Emplo...ijtsrd
Occupational stress can be defined as the harmful physical and emotional responses when the job requirements do not match the workers capabilities, resources, or needs. Indeed, there may be many factors affecting organizational effectiveness, and one of them is occupational stress which impacts employees job satisfaction. Job satisfaction leads people experiencing higher subjective well being to become more engaged and involved in their work, earn more money, have better relations with supervisors and co employees, and are better organizational citizens. The primary purpose of this OCCUPATIONAL STRESS ON JOB SATISFACTION study is to examine employees stress and job satisfaction. Every organization needs to have less stress and more satisfaction in employees to perform their work well when they feel good about their jobs. Certain factors tend to be consistently related to job satisfaction. My study examines the various factors and knows the level of stress and job satisfaction in Employees of the organization, and provides practical suggestions for improving the organizations performance. A questionnaire was designed which included questions regarding stress in employees alongside their satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Accordingly, 100 employees have been selected randomly from the organization, and feedback forms Questionnaire have been obtained. Through this analysis, interpretations were made thus.

Emotional intelligence has become a familiar issue between academicians, counsellors and business leaders due to a considerable role in the workplace. Organizations may be able to increase productivity and improve employee well-being through assessment and training of EI. Successes and failures at work generate emotions that may feedback to influence job performance, health, and other work behaviours. Understanding the interplay between work and emotion requires the identification of emotional competencies. Systematic research matching facets of EI to specific job competencies needed in order to substantiate the relevance of EI to the workplace. Anupama | Dr. Ajay K.

Adequately trained Manpower is a problem that affects the IT industry as a whole, but it is particularly acute for Enjay IT Solution. Enjay's location in a semi-urban or rural area makes it even more difficult to find a talented employee with the right skills. As the competition for skilled workers grows, it becomes more difficult to attract and keep those workers who have the requisite training and experience.
Effect of Biopesticide from the Stems of Gossypium Arboreum on Pink Bollworm ...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Pink bollworm and Lepidoptera development quickly in numbers which is a typical animal group that produces around 100 youthful ones inside certain days or weeks. This assault influences the harvests broadly in the tropical and sub-tropical temperature areas. Thus, to keep up with the yield of harvests the vermin ought to be kept away by utilizing pesticides. The unnecessary measure of the purpose of pesticides influences the dirt, land, and as well as human well-being, and contaminates the climate. Thus, an ozone-accommodating biopesticide is extracted from the stems of the Gossypium arboreum. Thus, the extraction of biopesticide from the stems of Gossypium arboreum demonstrated that the quantity of pink bollworm and Lepidoptera is diminished step by step in the wake of showering the arrangement on the impacted region of the plant because of the presence of the gossypol.

The growth of a country's banking sector has a significant impact on its economic development. The banking sector plays a critical role in determining a country's economic future. A well-planned, structured, efficient, and viable banking system is an essential component of an economy's economic and social infrastructure. In modern society, a strong banking system is required because it meets the financial needs of the modern society. In a country's economy, the banking system plays a crucial role. Because it connects surplus and deficit economic agents, the bank is the most important financial intermediary in the economy. The banking system is regarded as the economy's lifeline. It meets the financial needs of commerce, industry, and agriculture. As a result, the country's development and the banking system are intertwined. They are critical in the mobilisation of savings and the distribution of credit to various sectors of the economy. India's private sector banks play a critical role in the country's economic development. So The financial performance of private sector banks must be evaluated carefully.
An Empirical Analysis of Financial Performance of Selected Oil Exploration an...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
After the United States, China, and Japan, India was the world's fourth biggest consumer of oil and petroleum products. The nation is significantly reliant on crude oil imports, the majority of which come from the Middle East. The Indian oil and gas business is one of the country's six main sectors, with important forward links to the rest of the economy. More than two-thirds of the country's overall primary energy demands are met by the oil and gas industry. The industry has played a key role in placing India on the global map. India is now the world's sixth biggest crude oil user and ninth largest crude oil importer. In addition, the country's portion of the worldwide refining market is growing. India's refining industry is now the world's sixth biggest. With plans for Reliance Petroleum Limited to commission another refinery with a capacity of 29 MTPA next 16 to its 33 MTPA refinery in Jamnagar, Gujarat, this position is projected to be enhanced. As a consequence, the Reliance refinery would be the biggest single-site refinery in the world. Based on secondary data gathered from CMIE, the current research examines the ratios influencing the profitability of selected oil exploration and production businesses in India during a 10-year period.
Since 1991, thanks to economic policy liberalization, the Indian economy has entered an era in which Indian businesses can no longer disregard global markets. Prior to the 1990s, the prices of a variety of commodities, metals, and other assets were carefully regulated. Others, which were not rolled, were primarily dependant on regulated input costs. As a result, there was no uncertainty and, as a result, no price fluctuations. However, in 1991, when the process of deregulation began, the prices of most items were deregulated. It has also resulted in the exchange being partially deregulated, easing trade restrictions, lowering interest rates, and making significant advancements in foreign institutional investors' access to the capital markets, as well as establishing market-based government securities pricing, among other things. Furthermore, portfolio and securities price volatility and instability were influenced by market-determined exchange rates and interest rates. As a result, hedging strategies employing a variety of derivatives were exposed to a variety of risks. The Indian capital market will be examined in this study, with a focus on derivatives.
Theoretical Estimation of CO2 Compression and Transport Costs for an hypothet...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
SEI S.p.a. presented a project to build a 1320 MW coal-fired power plant in Saline Joniche, on the Southern tip of Calabria Region, Italy, in 2008. A gross early evaluation about the possibility to add CCS (CO2 Capture & Storage) was performed too. The project generated widespread opposition among environmental associations, citizens and local institutions in that period, against the coal use to produce energy, as a consequence of its GHG clima-alterating impact. Moreover the CCS (also named Carbon Capture & Storage or more recently CCUS: Carbon Capture-Usage-Storage) technology was at that time still an unknown and “mysterious” solution for the GHG avoiding to the atmosphere. The present study concerns the sizing of the compression and transportation system of the CCS section, included in the project presented at the time by SEI Spa; the sizing of the compression station and the pipeline connecting the plant to the possible Fosca01 offshore injection site previously studied as a possible storage solution, as part of a coarse screening of CO2 storage sites in the Calabria Region. This study takes into account the costs of construction, operation and maintenance (O&M) of both the compression plant and the sound pipeline, considering the gross static storage capacity of the Fosca01 reservoir as a whole as previously evaluated.

Techno-Economic Aspects of Solid Food Wastes into Bio-ManureDr. Amarjeet Singh
Solid waste is health hazard and cause damage to the environment due to improper handling. Solid waste comprises of Industrial Waste (IW), Hazardous Waste (HW), Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Electronic waste (E-waste), Bio-Medical Waste (BMW) which depend on their supply & characteristics. Food waste or Bio-waste composting and its role in sustainable development is explained in food waste is a growing area of concern with many costs to our community in terms of waste collection, disposal and greenhouse gases. When rotting food ends up in landfill it turns into methane, a greenhouse gas that is particularly damaging to the environment. Composting is biochemical process in which organic materials are biologically degraded, resulting in the production of organic by products and energy in the form of heat. Heat is trapped within the composting mass, leading to the phenomenon of self-heating. This overall process provide us Bio-Manure.
Crypto-Currencies: Can Investors Rely on them as Investment Avenue?Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The purpose of this study is to examine investors’ perceptions about investing in crypto-currencies. We think that investors trust in crypto-currencies is largely driven by crypto-currency comprehension, trust in government, and transaction speed. This is the first study to examine crypto-currencies from the investor’s perspective. Following that, we discover important antecedents of crypto-currency confidence. Second, we look at the government's role in crypto-currencies. The importance of this study is: first, crypto-currencies have the potential to disrupt the current economic system as the debate is all about impact of decentralization of transactions; thus, further research into how it affects investors trust is essential; and second, access to crypto-currencies. Finally, if Fin-Tech companies or banks want to enter the bitcoin industry may not attract huge advertising costs as well as marketing to soothe clients' concerns about investing in various digital currencies The research sheds light on indecisiveness in the context of marketing aspects adopted by demonstrating investors are aware about the crypto.
Awareness of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) among Student of the Catanduanes S...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The Island Province of Catanduanes is prone to all types of natural hazards that includes torrential and heavy rains, strong winds and surge, flooding and landslide or slope failures as a result of its geographical location and topography. RA 10121 mandates local DRRM bodies to “encourage community, specifically the youth, participation in disaster risk reduction and management activities, such as organizing quick response groups, particularly in identified disaster-prone areas, as well as the inclusion of disaster risk reduction and management programs as part of youth programs and projects. The study aims to determine the awareness to disaster of the student of the Catanduanes State University. The disaster-based questionnaire was prepared and distributed among 636 students selected randomly from different Colleges and Laboratory Schools in the University
The Catanduanes State University students understood some disaster-related concepts and ideas, but uncertain on issues on preparedness, adaptation, and awareness on the risks inflicted by these natural hazards. Low perception on disaster risks are evidently observed among students. The responses of the students could be based on the efficiency and impact of the integration of DRR education in the senior high school curriculum. Specifically, integration of the concepts about the hazards, hazard maps, disaster preparedness, awareness, mitigation, prevention, adaptation, and resiliency in the science curriculum possibly affect the knowledge and understanding of students on DRR. Preparedness drills and other forms of capacity building must be done to improve awareness of the student towards DRRM.
The study further recommends that teachers and instructor must also be capacitated in handling disaster as they are the prime movers in the implementation of the DRRM in education. Preparedness drills and other forms of capacity building must be done to improve awareness of the student towards DRRM. Core subjects in Earth Sciences must be reinforced with geologic hazards. Learning competencies must also be focused on hazard identification and mapping, and coping with different geologic disaster.
The 1857 war was a watershed moment in the history of the Indian subcontinent. The battle has sparked academic debate among historians and sociologists all around the world. Despite the fact that it has been more than 150 years, this battle continues to pique the interest of historians. The war's causes and events that occurred throughout the conflict, persons who backed the British and anti-British fighters, and the results and ramifications, are all aspects of this conflict. In terms of outcomes, many academics believe that the war was a failure for those who started it. It is often assumed that the Indians who battled the British in this conflict were unable to achieve their goals. Many gains accrued to Indians as a result of the conflict, but these achievements are overshadowed by the dispute over the war's failure. This research effort focuses on the war's achievements for India, and the significance of those achievements.
Haryana's Honour Killings: A Social and Legal Point of ViewDr. Amarjeet Singh
Life is unpredictably unpredictable. Nobody knows what will happen in the next minute of their lives. In this circumstance, every human being has the right and desire to conduct their lives according to their own desires. No one should be forced to live a life solely for the benefit and reputation of others. Honour killing is defined as the assassination of a person, whether male or female, who refuses to accept the family's arranged marriage or decides to move her or his marital life according to her or his wishes solely because it jeopardizes the family's honour. The family's supreme authority looks after the family's name but neglects to consider the love and affection shared among family members. I have discussed honour killing in India in my research work. This sort of murder occurs as a result of particular triggers, which are also examined in relation to the role of the law in honour killing. No one can be released free if they break the law, and in this case, it is a felony that violates various regulations designed to safeguard citizens. This crime is similar to many others, but it is distinct enough to be differentiated in the report. When the husband is of low social standing, it lowers the position and caste of the female family, prompting the male family members to murder the girl. But they forget that the girl is their kid and that while rank may be attained, a girl's life can never be replaced, and that caste is less valuable than the girl's life and love spent with them.
Optimization of Digital-Based MSME E-Commerce: Challenges and Opportunities i...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The impact caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic on Micro and Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) was so severe and fatal
that not a few went out of business. The heavy burden is borne by MSME actors due to social restrictions imposed by the
government, the declining purchasing power of the people, a product that continues to decline until capital runs out. Plus
inadequate knowledge in carrying out marketing strategies and product innovations are the main trigger for the lack of
enthusiasm for MSME actors as well as bankruptcy. MSME digitalization-based e-commerce is an opportunity and the right
solution in dealing with the obstacles caused by the impact of Covid-19, as well as a challenge for MSME actors to design old
ways in new ways through digital business.
Modal Space Controller for Hydraulically Driven Six Degree of Freedom Paralle...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
This paper presents the Modal space decoupled control for a hydraulically driven parallel mechanism has been presented. The approach is based on singular values decomposition to the properties of joint-space inverse mass matrix, and mapping of the control and feedback variables from the joint space to the decoupling modal space. The method transformed highly coupled six-input six-output dynamics into six independent single-input single-output (SISO) 1 DOF hydraulically driven mechanical systems. The novelty in this method is that the signals including control errors, control outputs and pressure feedbacks are transformed into decoupled modal space and also the proportional gains and dynamic pressure feedback are tuned in modal space. The results indicate that the conventional controller can only attenuate the resonance peaks of the lower eigenfrequencies of six rigid modes properly, and the peaking points of other relative higher eigenfrequencies are over damped, The further results show that it is very effective to design and tune the system in modal space and that the bandwidth increased substantially except surge (x) and sway (y) motions, each degree of freedom can be almost tuned independently and their bandwidths can be increased near to the undamped eigenfrequencies.
It is a known fact that a large number of Steel Industry Expansion projects in India have been delayed due to regulatory clearances, environmental issues and problems pertaining to land acquisition. Also, there are challenges in the tendering phase that affect viability of projects thus delaying implementation, construction phase is beset with over-runs and disputes and last but not the least; provider skills are weak all across the value chain. Given the critical role of Steel Sector in ensuring a sustained growth trajectory for India, it is imperative that we identify the core issues affecting completion of infrastructure projects in India and chalk out initiatives that need to be acted upon in short term as well as long term.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

ABSTRACT
Information technology is the fastest growing sector
in the country and the highest employer in the private sector.
The fast-paced technological changes, the need to keep up with
it and the huge workload puts enormous demands on the
employees. They experience anxiety and stress at the
workplace which affects, positively and negatively, their
attitude towards their job and management. Hence, the study
investigated the relationship between anxiety and stress
experienced by the employees at the workplace and how each
factor affects their attitude towards their management
respectively. Since the study covered both male and female
employees, hence similar nature of relationship between the
variables was also examined separately for each gender
For this ex-post facto research, a convenience sample
of 200 respondents through stratified sampling technique was
chosen in 2019 from various IT firms in Hyderabad. The age
of the respondents was between 24-36 years. The data for
analysis was collected through 3 scales/ index viz. 1) Job
Anxiety Scale by Dr. A. K. Srivastava 2) Occupational Stress
Index by A K Srivastav and A P Singh 3) Attitude Scale for
Measuring Employee Attitude Towards Management Attitude
Scale for Measuring Employee Attitude Towards Management
by Dr. K D Kapoor and a personal information sheet.
Statistical tools of Pearson was applied to analyse the data.
The results of the study confirmed that occupational
stress significantly and negatively predicted attitude towards
management of the employees. But, on the contrary for job
anxiety the relationship with employee attitude was found to
be insignificant. The attitude towards management of female
employees was found to be more significantly and negatively
related to job anxiety and occupational stress respectively as
compared to their male counterparts. This result belied the
expectations. However, no interaction effect was observed
between job anxiety and occupational stress while predicting
attitude towards management. It is recommended that IT
companies must design general and gender based intervention
strategies to reduce job anxiety and occupational stress among
employees.

I. INTRODUCTION
Information Technology (IT) sector in India today
has innumerable achievements and milestones to its credit.
It is the biggest employer in the private sector providing
direct employment to over 40 lac and indirect livelihoods to
approximately 1 crore people. This includes both the IT
services and BPO (Business Process Outsourcing). The
country is 2nd
only to USA in terms manpower employed
and in the coming years, looking at the outlook of 60 lac
people required for cybersecurity by 2022 as per
NASSCOMM (National Association of Software and
Services Companies), India will be no 1 country in terms of
manpower employed. The industry is currently the highest
employer in the private sector with four companies in the
top ten in terms of the manpower employed.
It is the single most preferred sector for
employment among the fresh engineering graduates. The
sector witnesses’ huge recruitments every year but layoffs
also. The rapid technology changes, disruption at times, the
increasing level of customization, long working hours,
serving clients in different time zones and tight deadlines
have brought in churnings within the industry. The sector
definitely has seen huge successes as today, through its
services and products, it touches all aspects of our lives.
The fast growth and expectations does not come without its
cost for the employees: anxiety and stress at the workplace.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
Job Anxiety
Workplace, as in personal life, gives continuous
stimuli for anxiety which provides the daily impetus to
employees to do their work for the day. On a continuous
basis, we keep on adapting and overcoming the anxiety
with each small or big assignment maintaining our normal
behavior. But it becomes a matter of concern when the
worrying and apprehension due to work pressure is
persistent. The changes in our interaction with the people
we work with is not noticeable to us but visible to all else:

over analysis, irritation, micro management, non-
delegation, mistrust, usage of harsh words are some of the
behaviours which indicate anxiety. Besides adversely
impacting the performance of the employee, the
interpersonal relationships within the work environment
also get strained. Quite frequently, the displayed behavior
exhibits a dread and emotional tension, arising out of the
person’s imaginary involvement in his or her situational
contexts. In psychological parlance, this is known as job
anxiety (Srivastava & Sen, 1995).
The understanding of anxiety as a trait is
comparatively recent one. Each of us are affected by the
condition in our day to day work. It is not as if the construct
is detrimental to us. It has its positive impact also as it
propels us to do our work. The Yerkes-Dodson Law (1908)
states that physiological or mental arousal pushes up the
performance only up to a certain point. When the level of
stress becomes too high, performance decreases (Gino,
2016).
Figure I: Impact of Anxiety on Performance
(@HBR.ORG)
In their research, based on the British Workplace
Employment Relations Survey (WERS) data of 2004-2011,
the relationship between job anxiety, psychological illness,
and work related performance Jones, Latreille, & Sloane
(2011) have discussed the strong relationship between these
three aspects. As per the researchers, while this association
maybe causal, the employers do need to look at the costs
involved in reducing job anxiety at the workplace. There is
a threshold of anxiety to which an employee can be
subjected to without having adverse impact on the
individual or the organisation as a whole. The negative
impact of strong anxiety at the workplace may result in
various physiological and psychological problems for an
employee. While anxiety is seen to affect job performance
and productivity, there is the possibility of the reverse also
happening. The researchers conclude with further stress
upon the positive correlation of job anxiety with bigger job
role, increasing responsibilities and tenure of an employee.
The younger generation of employees today is not
only more aware but also more concerned about working
conditions and how it impacts their lifestyle. The kind of
commitment and loyalty to an organization displayed by
older workers can no longer be expected from this new crop
of employees. The world is full of immense opportunities
and options these days. The new generation including the
millennials do not tolerate for long what they find lacking
in the workplace. They are mobile and harbour no wrong
impressions of life-long commitment. Syed & Tappin
(2019) have concluded in their research on 279 IT
professionals in USA that new age workers show a
markedly low tolerance for job insecurity and consequently
for organizational commitment as compared to the older
workers
On the positive side anxiety may heighten the
cognitive abilities, improve focus and attention, enhance
motivation & sharpen decision making and analytical
ability (Strack et al., 2017). On the negative side it can
adversely impact the physical and mental health of the
individual. A WHO report (2017) pegs the cost of
depression and anxiety burden on the world economy at 1
Trillion USD in form of lost productivity.
Occupational Stress
An emotion is a response to an external stimuli
impacting one’s physical state through bio chemical
reactions (Sourkes, 1962). Emotions lead to mental
experiences known as feelings. Stress is a state of mind, a
feeling, and is generally associated, in Psychology, with
one of the core emotions of fear. In our day to day life, the
word “stress” is used generally to indicate the effect of
work, mental or physical or both on an individual indicating
towards adverse impact on the body resulting in health
issues. Stress does result in the health issues as has also
been reported by the UN in its report in 1992 calling it the
“The 20th
Century Disease” and subsequently by the WHO
which has termed it as a “World Wide Epidemic.”
Sabbarwal et al. (2017) in their study have defined
occupational stress as a strain which develops due to the
conflict between the employee and his/her environment.
Due to the work pattern and increasing complexity at the
job, it is not possible for an employee in the IT sector to
avoid stress. As per the study, within the job role of an
employee, there are various factors, with varying degree of
impact, which have been identified as the root cause of job
stress. This has also resulted in various other physical
ailments for the employees which could affect the work
productivity. The authors have observed that in almost all
the selected IT organizations management has come
forward with several employee engagement programmes
for tackling the issue. The authors have concluded by
observing that since job stress is a phenomenon which
cannot be completely eradicated, hence organisations must
continuously work towards ensuring that the impact is

minimized through various initiatives including mentoring,
coaching and learning programmes. One big fallout of high
stress has been found out to be job satisfaction (George &
Zakaria,2015) which impacts the attrition rate in the
industry (Purohit,2016).
Laptop/computer usage is common these days with
employees across sectors. Unlike the IT professional, they
require it off and on. For IT employees, the major source of
output is the computer/laptop on which they need to work
the maximum hours on the job. The continuous usage with
specific and limited movement of limbs leads to
complications like back pain (Sabbarwal et al., 2017). Such
problems interfere with the regular work, leading to further
build-up of stress resulting in more complications both
physical and psychological. In such a mental and physical
state, the employee may develop a certain attitude towards
his/her supervisors, seniors and overall towards the
organization (McKenzie 2015).
Attitude towards Management
A huge body of knowledge and insights have ben
amassed over the years related to attitude, still the
definitions of the concept offered by various experts reveal
an amazing diversity of understanding of what the term
denotes (Strauss, 1945).
As per Allport(1935) attitude is “a mental and
neural state of readiness, organized through experience,
exerting a directive or dynamic influence upon the
individual’s response to all objects and situations with
which it is related”.
Yanjuan Zhang (2016) studying employee
turnover has explored the various facets of the work viz job
satisfaction, job stress, and commitment. These are
comprised of many sub factors and get impacted by the
attitude of the employee which contribute significantly to
the decision of the employee to stay committed to the
organization or leave it as and when there is an opportunity.
Goswami (2015) underlines the impact of stress on
the thinking and working of employees in any organization.
Besides the physical impact, the mental wellbeing may also
get impacted. Stress largely increases the level of fear,
anger, and nervousness. Simultaneously it reduces the level
of satisfaction and confidence among employees which
causes behavioural and physiological consequences. There
should be adequate counselling and role alignment for the
employee to get adjusted to the demands of the work. The
author concludes that to get the best out of the employees it
imperative to take certain employees centric initiatives
which give them support, provide direction & guidance, and
empower them enough to perform their job roles
effectively.
III. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The corporate world is often described as a VUCA
ecosystem where volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and
ambiguity rule. For employees, managers, and even the top
brass operating in such an atmosphere, stress can quickly
turn to distress and lead to anxiety and depression (Nair,
2016). IT industry is no different from the others when it
comes to issues related to job stress. A survey covering
3,000 employees from sectors such as IT, manufacturing,
financial sector and startups has found that 1 out of 5
employees suffers from depression (ET, 2019).
The anxiety of the outcomes and stress of the
working schedule impacts the employee attitude towards
his/her work and shows in the work output. Keeping the
above in perspective, the present study is a humble attempt
to gauge how anxiety and stress of employees in IT industry
affects their attitude towards their management. This study
also looks at the relationship between the dependent and the
independent variables for both male and female employees
plus investigates the interaction between the two
independent variables. The study is significant as it gives
insight on the level and direction of the employees’ attitude
towards management vis-à-vis job anxiety and occupational
stress respectively. The concerned stakeholders can use the
findings to formulate new methods and develop
competencies to better handle anxiety and stress at the
workplace.
IV. HYPOTHESIS
1. There is a significant negative correlation between job
anxiety among employees and their attitude towards
management.
2. There is a significant negative correlation between
occupational stress among employees and their attitude
towards management.
3. Job anxiety among female employees impacts their
attitude towards management more than that of their male
counterparts.
4. Occupational stress will manifest a greater influence the
attitude towards management of women worker vs the male
employees.
IV. OBJECTIVES
1. To study the influence of job anxiety and occupational
stress respectively among employees on their attitude
towards management.
2. To investigate the difference in the impact of job anxiety
and occupational stress on the attitude towards management
of male and female employees.

V. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND
RESULTS
Correlation coefficients were calculated to indicate
the correlations between the independent variables and the
dependent variable respectively for overall number of
respondents, low and high groups (each consisting 100
respondents), and separately for gender. The significance
value at a 95% confidence interval level (p ≤ 0.05) was
The breakup of the respondents for gender is as below:

A. The Pearson Correlation coefficient for the scores of the
total sample on factors Job Anxiety and Attitude towards
Management is -.14 (df 198, p<.05) which is found to be –
ve and not significant as it is equal to the rcrit (.14). Hence
hypothesis 1 is rejected.
The scatter plot (Figure 2) gives an overall view
of the relationship between the two variables. The X axis
represents the score of 200 employees for Job Anxiety
while the Y axis denotes the score on obtained through the
Attitude scale.

variable than for the male employees. Hence the fourth
hypothesis is accepted.
V. DISCUSSION
Pro, neutral or anti (positive or negative) attitude
shapes the engagement level, job satisfaction and
commitment for the organization (Jagdish,1987; Dasari &
Subrahmanyam,2019). For the organization this has
implications on the product quality, productivity, conducive
environment for growth and team bonding. While for the
employee, the impact is seen on job performance and
attrition rate (Kumar & Kavitha, 2018). In a worst case
scenario, dis-satisfaction and disillusionment may also lead
to dangerous and destructive behavior by the employees
(Spector, 1997).
The current study covering 200 respondents from
the IT sector has highlighted the impact of job anxiety and
occupational stress of employees on their thinking about
their management. The study has investigated the strength
and direction of the relationships between the considered
factors at the gender level also. Additionally, for each
independent variable the respondents were divided into low
and high groups of 100 respondents each to see the
difference in the correlation with the dependent variable
and try to get some more insights for better understanding.
The scatter plot in Figure II shows that job
anxiety experienced by the respondents is negatively
correlated with their attitude towards their management.
But the scatter plot also reveals that the relationship is
insignificant (r=-.14, p<.05; rcrit =.14). The inference
derived from this is that anxiety after at the workplace after
a certain level does not influence the respondents’
perception about their managers or organization. Even
though the influence is negatively correlated, it being
insignificant, any increase or decrease in job anxiety will
have a minimal impact on their attitude at the job. This
finding is not in line with studies done earlier on the impact
of job anxiety on job satisfaction or employee engagement
or productivity or attrition or commitment. But as per Jones
et al., (2011) there is a threshold of anxiety to which an
employee can be subjected to without having adverse
impact on the individual or the organisation as a whole. The
increasing level of anxiety is also an indicator of the level
of engagement of an employee (Srivastava & Sen ,1995).
There could be many reasons for result obtained in the
study, like the level of job security, role clarity, delegation,
and leadership. This could be a subject for further research.
But, as will be discussed further, there is a marked
difference in the level of interaction (correlation between
the two factors) among the two genders.

The scatter plot in Figure III shows that the
occupational stress experienced by the respondents is
negatively correlated with their attitude towards their
management. It also depicts that the relationship between
the variables is significant (r=-.47, p<.05; rcrit =.14).
Workplace stress does strongly influence the perception of
the employees about their management and shape their on-
job attitude. One big fallout of high stress has been found to
be job satisfaction (George & Zakaria, 2015). The
relationship being negatively correlated and significant, any
increase or decrease in occupational stress will have an
inverse impact on the attitude at job of the employees. This
finding is supported by studies done earlier on occupational
stress. Stress has been a very popular topic for research
worldwide especially in the field of sociology, management
and psychology. The factor has also been of interest as it is
something which touches upon all aspects of life be it
personal or professional (Greenglass,2002) And the one big
reason is that a better understanding of the causes and
results of occupational stress have been known to lead to
improved job satisfaction and employee health, for both
young and old ones (Essays, UK, 2018). When we take into
consideration gender, we observe a difference in how
occupational stress is handled by male and female
employees. This is discussed subsequently.
Though the sample size of women employees
taken for the study is almost 1/3 that of male employees, it
is still pertinent enough to note the difference in the
correlation values for both the genders. In case of job
anxiety, while the “r” value for men is insignificant (r=-
.04, p<.05) the same for female employees is moderately
significant (r=-.36, p<.05) as shown in Table IV. At the
beginning of the study, we had hypothesized that female
respondents would be much more affected by anxiety than
the male workers. The results support the same. The results
are in consonance with the findings of earlier researches.
Kinrys & Wygant (2005) and Warnke (2018) have also
discussed women in their respective studies, the higher
prevalence of anxiety among. The findings agree with Chen
et al. (2017) and Srinivas et al., (2015) that workplace
anxiety impacts an employee’s thinking and perception
towards his/her job. As per Malhotra & Shah (2015),
gender is a critical determinant of mental health and illness
in India. The patterns of psychological distress and
psychiatric disorder afflicting women are different from the
ones seen among men. Women have a higher mean level of
internalizing disorders while men show a higher mean level
of externalizing disorders. Predominance of women can be
observed majorly for the rates of common mental disorders.
For occupational stress, just as has been seen for
job anxiety, “r” value for female employees is much higher
(r=-.62, p<.05) than the male workers (r=-.40, p<.05) as
shown in Table IV. Though stress at the workplace is
definitely a function of the attitude towards the organization
for both the genders it is much more so for the female
employees. The results are support the findings of earlier
researches. As per Narayanan et al., (1999) interpersonal
conflict has been reported as the biggest source of stress for
women at work as compared to men. Gyllensten & Palmer
(2005) in their search to identify studies investigating
gender and workplace stress found that much of the
literature they scanned indicated women having reported
higher levels of stress as compared to men.
As an additional analysis the respondents were
divided into two groups (low and high) based on their
scores on job anxiety scale and occupational stress index.
The scores for each group was treated for correlation with
the scores on attitude scale. As given in Table II, there is a
moderately significant negative correlation for low job
anxiety group (r=-.24, p<.05; rcrit =.19) while the same for
high anxiety group is insignificant (r=.06, p<.05; rcrit =.19).
The findings are in line with the studies mentioned in the
paper. A threshold level of anxiety is necessary to see us
through in our day to day work. For the low anxiety group,
as the anxiety increases the employees’ outlook towards
management becomes more negative. The anxiety in
respondents in the high group seem to have reached a
certain level where any further escalation of anxiety in their
job will have no impact on their attitude towards
management.
Table III shows the “r” values of the low and high
group of occupational stress. The group with low stress has
shown a significant but negative correlation (r=-.56, p<.05;
rcrit=.19). Employees in this group show a strong response
to changes in stress levels at the workplace. The attitude
towards management becomes positive or negative
accordingly. This finding is in line with the various earlier
studies (WHO, 2019; Michie,2002; Narban et al. ,2016).
The stress experienced by the respondents in the high group
is having a moderately negative relationship with their
attitude at the workplace (r=-.24, p<.05; rcrit=.19). But the
strength of the correlation is far lower as compared to the
low stress group. The employees in the high group are less
affected by changes in the stress levels at the workplace as
compared to the respondents in the low group.
V. CONCLUSION
The current study has attempted to look at how job
anxiety and occupational stress influence the employee
attitude towards their management in IT sector. Increasing
demand and intervention of information technology across
industries has led to high growth in the sector and has
consequently put enormous pressure on the employees to
deliver against tight schedules. Consistent stress and
anxiety arising from various factors of the job dimensions
tends to have a negative influence on the employees’
attitude and their favourable disposition towards the

management (Jagdish, 1987). This has been noted in many
other studies done on job satisfaction and employee
engagement (Andrew, 2017; Hewitt Associates, 2010;
Reisel et. al, 2010; Coetzee, 2005).
The attitude of the respondents is not getting
influenced by job anxiety in the current research as there is
insignificant correlation between the two factors. This could
also mean that the level of anxiety among the respondents is
already too high for any further increase to impact their
attitude. This may need to be probed further which is
beyond the scope of the current study. On the other hand,
occupational stress is seen to be significantly correlated
with the respondents’ attitude towards their job.
Female workers more than the male employees
have been found to be affected by anxiety and stress at the
workplace. IT sector of late has been attracting a lot of
women to its workforce (Bharathi & Gupta, 2017), hence
organisations need to identify the factors and issues at the
workplace which specifically impact the female employees.
These could be, among others, work timings, gender
discrimination, role clarity, responsibility, work-life
balance, and interpersonal issues. They could also look at
various gender specific measures and interventions to
bolster the confidence and trust of the female workers.
Though not a part of the main study, the influence
of anxiety and stress on respondents’ in the low and high
group for both the factors was also calculated. The results
for the factors support the already discussed findings that
employees having low job anxiety or occupational stress
show a more positive attitude than those in the high group.
The attitude of an employee is indicative of his/her
degree of engagement which is the state of emotional and
intellectual commitment to the organization (Hewitt
Associates, 2010). Every year thousands of young
engineers join the growing IT workforce in the country.
There is an ever growing demand for IT services across the
globe, and India is in the forefront today as a major supplier
of manpower and content. Information technology firms
need to not only retain talent but nurture them so that
quality output is ensured. Employees need to be generally
in a positive frame of mind to continuously remain engaged
and be productive. Anxiety and stress at work cannot be
wished away and are a permanent feature of an employee’s
daily work. Both the organization as well the workers need
to deal with it effectively. Anxiety and stress may lead to
fatigue and burnout and could also increase the possibility
of attrition (Arnold, 2016; Gupta 2013). Suitable
interventions must be designed and implemented by
organisations to continuously mitigate the negative
influence of anxiety and stress at the workplace.
