Abstract

Introduction:Information Technology (IT) professionals commonly encounter occupation-related issues that adversely affect psychological health and well-being.Aim and Objective:To study the level and relationships of life satisfaction with cognitive flexibility and resilience in IT professionals.Materials and Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 457 IT professionals were assessed with Sociodemographic proforma, Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS), Cognitive Resilience Scale (CRS), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS).Statistical Analysis Used:Descriptive statistics, Student's t-test, ANOVA, and linear regression analysis.Results:The mean score on CRS was high (4.5), whereas on CFS was low (49.36). The mean score on SWLS was also low (17.36) particularly with widowed and disrupted family status, positively linked to the scoring of CFS & CRS, and negatively linked to hours of work.Conclusions:Among Indian IT professionals, cognitive flexibility and life satisfaction are low and influenced by family. Life satisfaction is proportionately linked to cognitive flexibility and resilience.
