Abstract:

This article focused on the attentiveness of stress at the workplace by investigating the effect of organizational culture and stress on employee loyalty. In view of increasing competition and coupled with technological development, the present study is motivated by the importance of employee loyalty in accomplishing the objectives of organizations and lacking such research for organizational culture in Hyderabad.  Here, the challenge was to fill the gap among organizational culture, stress at working place, and employee loyalty. At the same time, the perceptions of organizational culture and stress have been studied in ancient times, though few studies provide detailed insights among the organizational culture, stress, and employee. This research, therefore, understood this interaction within IT industries. The data was collected from the survey by structured mailed questionnaires from IT employees within IT industries located in Hyderabad. The analysis was done by using SPSS. The study found that the relationship between culture, stress, and employee loyalty found to be significant. The results of the study reveal that the IT industry exhibits a rational and development culture that is encouraging. The study also suggests that there is a scope to change the work policies, trim down the stress levels of the employees and improve the organizational loyalty of employees in the IT field.
