Abstract: Abstract There is no such thing as stress-free work in today's environment. Every company gave their staff a challenging assignment to do in a certain amount of time. All of the employees are stressed out at work as a result of that work. Professionals in the Information Technology (IT) industry are frequently stressed at work and are at risk of developing health problems as a result of their jobs. The IT sector has a lot of severe workloads and has to deal with several issues like role ambiguity, gender inequality, and long working hours. The current research examines the numerous elements that lead to work-related stress, as well as the influence of demographic factors on stress among IT professionals. A sample of 240 data has been collected from the northern, central, and southern regions of Tamil Nadu. A Convenience Sampling Technique has been performed to collect the information. The results reveal the impact of stress factors on IT professionals in their work environment. Also, the outcome shows the significant impact of demographic factors like age, gender, marital status, and education of employees causing stress in their work environment.
