Abstract

Studies have demonstrated that compared to specialists in other sectors, IT professionals usually work longer hours, which makes their lives quite difficult. Long working hours are a major problem that has gained international attention, according to the World Health Organization and the International Labour Organization (ILO). They can have a negative impact on employees' health and well-being. According to ILO 2019 reports, working too many hours is accountable for close to one-third of the projected worldwide burden of disease at work or is a contributing factor in illnesses. A person's mental health may suffer gravely as a result of ongoing work pressures and associated stressors. The study looks at how extended work hours affect workers' mental and physical health of IT professionals.
