Abstract:
This study explores the relationship between employee demographics, awareness and perception of mental health resources, and job satisfaction within the IT/ITES sector. We hypothesized that demographic profiles influence awareness of mental health resources (H1), years of experience affect perceptions of mental health initiatives (H2), job satisfaction is positively correlated with the perceived effectiveness of mental health resources (H3), alignment of personal and company goals leads to higher job satisfaction (H4), and a supportive work environment enhances job satisfaction and well-being (H5). Using a cross- sectional survey design, data were collected from 150 employees via structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were employed to analyse the data. The results indicated a weak positive correlation between job satisfaction and perceived effectiveness of mental health resources (R = 0.1009, p = 0.3180), leading to the rejection of H3. Descriptive analysis revealed diverse perceptions regarding job satisfaction and mental health resource effectiveness. The study highlights the importance of a holistic approach to employee well-being, addressing gaps in long-term effectiveness and the impact of organizational culture on mental health outcomes. These findings suggest that tailored, sustainable interventions are crucial for enhancing employee well-being in the IT/ITES sector.
