Abstract

The increasing demands and pressures in the IT industry have led to heightened stress levels among professionals, negatively impacting productivity, mental well-being, and overall job satisfaction. This study explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in mitigating work-related stress and fostering a balanced work environment for IT professionals. AI-powered solutions such as intelligent workload management, predictive stress analytics, and personalized mental health interventions offer innovative approaches to stress reduction. By analyzing AI-driven strategies, including automation of repetitive tasks, adaptive scheduling, and sentiment analysis, this research evaluates their effectiveness in enhancing employee well-being. The study adopts a mixed-method approach, integrating qualitative and quantitative data from IT professionals in Bangalore to assess the impact of AI tools on stress management. The findings reveal that AI-enabled interventions contribute to improved work-life balance, reduced burnout, and increased job satisfaction. The study also highlights the challenges and ethical considerations associated with AI adoption in workplace stress management. The implications of this research extend to HR professionals, IT managers, and policymakers aiming to create a healthier and more sustainable work environment
