The present study was under taken in order to find out the behavioral consequences of the employees working in IT sector.
Stress at work, as shown by a number of human studies, may lead to a variety of negative and durable effects, such as impaired psychological functioning (anxiety, depression…). Horses share with humans this characteristic of working on a daily basis and are submitted then to work stressors related to physical constraints and/or more “psychological” conflicts, such as potential controversial orders from the riders or the requirement to suppress emotions. On another hand, horses may perform abnormal repetitive behaviour (“stereotypes”) in response to adverse life conditions. In the present study, we investigated whether the type of work the horses are used for may have an impact on their tendency to show stereotypic behaviour (and its type) outside work.
Work constraints probably added to unfavorable living conditions, favoring the emergence of chronic abnormal behaviour.
This is especially remarkable as the 23 hours spent in the box were influenced by the one hour work performed every day. It raises an important line of thought on the chronic impact of the work situation on the daily life of individuals.
Survey is done within the sector. The sample size is 150. The data was collected by administering questionnaire and by adopting direct personal contact method.
Collections of data were analyzed and tabulated in a sequential manner and the interpretations are given along with the tabulation. Conclusion and suggestions are also found in order improve the sector to reduce stress, absenteeism, turnover
