Abstract
The study examined the impact of work pressure on employee wellbeing in the Food and Beverage (F&B) service sector in Pollachi. The objective was to assess how workplace pressures long working hours, heavy workload, demanding customer expectations, and staff shortages affect employees’ physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. A quantitative, descriptive research design was employed. Primary data were collected from 250 respondents using a structured questionnaire administered through convenience sampling. Data were analyzed using percentage analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis to test relationships between work pressure factors and employee wellbeing. The findings revealed a significant relationship between work pressure and employee wellbeing: correlation analysis indicated positive associations between work pressure and physical strain, mental stress, and emotional exhaustion, while regression analysis confirmed that workplace pressure factors significantly predict poorer wellbeing outcomes and reduced job satisfaction. The study concludes that targeted interventions balanced shift rosters, adequate staffing, supervisor training, and employee assistance or stress-management programs are needed to mitigate work pressure and enhance employee wellbeing, productivity, and service quality in the F&B sector.
