A Study of Sustainable Practices on employee's burnout for improving employee's productivity with reference to IT Companies in Pune

Abstract This study observes the effects of the sustainable practices on the IT firms operating in Pune as regards employee productivity and burnout. The study discusses effects of such initiatives like flexible work hours, wellness and organizational support on burnout dimensions including emotional exhaustion, job stress, and work-life imbalance on the basis of primary data gathered from 105 participants. Purposive sampling was used and a questionnaire was used to conduct it and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, regression, and ANOVA. The findings show that sustainable practices decrease the level of burnout and have a positive influence on such productivity indices as the effectiveness of tasks, teamwork and work satisfaction. As the testing of hypotheses revealed, the support is positively correlated with the happiness of the employees in the organization, long-term HR practices show limited impact on burnout reduction and reduced burnout results in more productive workers. Although research has a significant gap within the region in terms of IT settings, the study found lack of empirical evidence linking productivity outcomes to sustainability-oriented HR policies. The evidence-based recommendations concerning the implementation of sustainability in HR practices to enable healthy and more productive work preferences are also presented in the findings to be incorporated into the academic discourse and the management practice.
