Despite the presence of stress, employees utilized coping mechanisms to navigate these challenges to a moderate extent. However, the study found out the no significant relationship between occupational stress and coping mechanisms among hospitality industry employees. This suggested a complex interplay of factors influencing stress levles within the work enviromnment, highlighting the need for a multifaceted approach to stress management. Further research was recommended to explore specific factors contributing to occupational stress in the hospitality industry and identify targeted interventions to promote employee well-being and productivity.
