A STUDY ON PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL BEING AWARENESS IN THE WORKPLACE FOR WOMEN IN BANKING SECTOR

Abstract

ABSTRACT
The banking industry is regarded as one of the most challenging service sectors because of the long working hours, high performance standards, pressure from customers, and stringent regulatory standards. Women employees in banks may have to deal with work overload, work-life imbalance, gender issues, and emotional stress, which have a negative impact on their psychological well-being. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the awareness of psychological well-being among women employees in the banking sector and to explore the factors at work that influence their mental health. A descriptive research design was employed, and the data was collected from 62 women bank employees using a structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed using percentage analysis and chi-square tests. The results indicate that the majority of the respondents are aware of mental health constructs and the importance of mental well-being at work. However, a large number of women employees are experiencing high levels of stress, burnout, and spillover effects on their personal lives. The paper highlights the importance of effective mental health awareness programs, organizational support, and flexible work arrangements to improve the psychological well-being of women employees in banks.
