| Abstract | This study investigated stress and job satisfaction among IT employees working in
Coimbatore City, with a focus on the impact of demographic variables such as age and years of
experience in the IT industry. A questionnaire was administered to 150 IT professionals to assess
their agreement with statements related to stress and job satisfaction. The data were analyzed
using descriptive statistics, a comparison of means, and significance tests. The results indicated
that age and years of experience had significant associations with stress and job satisfaction
levels. Respondents in the age groups of 18-25 years and 26-30 years reported significantly
different stress and job satisfaction levels compared to the overall mean. Younger IT professionals
tended to experience higher stress levels and were less satisfied with their jobs than their more
experienced counterparts. Despite these differences, respondents across all age groups generally
perceived a healthy work-life balance, clear job expectations, and adequate support from superiors
and colleagues. However, there was room for improvement in terms of compensation and
benefits, as respondents, on average, expressed dissatisfaction in this area. Based on the findings,
several recommendations were provided to address the identified issues. These included
implementing stress management programs for younger employees, enhancing compensation and
benefits packages, offering career development opportunities, and promoting a positive work
culture through training and awareness programs. The study highlights the importance of
considering age and years of experience in understanding stress and job satisfaction among IT
employees. The proposed interventions aim to create a more supportive and fulfilling work
environment for IT professionals in Coimbatore City, ultimately contributing to enhanced
employee well-being and organizational success. Continuous monitoring and evaluation are
emphasized to ensure the effectiveness of implemented strategies and to identify further areas of
improvement in employee satisfaction.
