Abstract

Stress management is becoming more and more crucial in today's fast-paced technological environment, particularly for IT professionals. Long working hours, strict deadlines and high expectations are common aspects of the work environment in the IT sector, and these can raise stress levels. Unmanaged stress has an adverse effect on professionals' health and well-being as well as their productivity and job happiness. A data set comprising of 2343 sample values taken from Kaggle is used for detecting the stress levels

Keywords
