摘要

The rapidly expanding software industry has found refuge in India. Although just a small percentage of IT companies have started implementing remote working policies, many have plans to keep allowing 75% of their employees to work remotely by 2025. The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has given rise to a new phenomenon known as remote working, which is working from an undesignated area or outside the office. Employers all throughout the world have told staff to work from home in order to prevent epidemics and safeguard families. Many corporations are still requesting that their staff continue working remotely, even though the pandemic has abated in many nations (Prasad in The Elderly in Mumbai under COVID-19 Lockdown (2000) [15]). The concept of team effectiveness states that when individuals in a group work together, they may accomplish far more than they might if they worked alone. Most people agree that occupational stress is a widespread occurrence that has serious negative effects on one’s health and finances in both developed and developing nations. Commonly speaking, occupational stress is caused by a “toxic” work environment that includes things like poor control, high work demands, a lack of information, extreme pressure, and little leeway in decision-making. It is a progressive process that results in poor health and serious behavioural repercussions based on individual cognitive appraisals of professional pressures. The present study involves examining the impact of occupational stress on team effectiveness among the software professionals working in Technopark, Kerala. The study was conducted among 60 employees, of whom 49 were males and 11 were females working in the organization. The results illustrated that there was an inverse correlation between occupational stress and team effectiveness. The findings advice for introducing interventions to improve the current risk factors of workplace stress and eradicate the negative effects of the same on the work and team effectiveness among the professionals.
