Abstract: The information technology industry with its fast-track innovation and challenging deadlines tends to exert tremendous amounts of stress over the employees working there. Here is a study on the interface between work stress and work-life balance among workers in Femtosoft Technology. Descriptive and correlational research designs have been used with structured questionnaires as primary data and statistical packages such as correlation, regression, ANOVA, and thematic analysis. It shows that workload, management pressure, and deadline all play crucial roles in producing job stress leading to work-life imbalance. It proposes organizational intervention through flexible work arrangements, well-being initiatives, and supportive managerial policies.
