It focuses on work stressors, HR interventions, organizational support, and employee outcomes such as well-being, engagement, and job satisfaction. Statistical analyses, including descriptive analysis, reliability testing, and regression, reveal that factors like heavy workload, long working hours, and technostress negatively impactmental health. However, HR initiatives such as counseling, wellness programs, flexible work options, and managerial support significantly improve employee well-being. The study highlights the importance of reducing mental health stigma and fostering open communication. It concludes that HR plays a strategic role in creating supportive cultures, enhancing employee well-being, engagement, and overall organizational productivity.
