Abstract: In today's modern era, stress stands out as a significant and unavoidable aspect, particularly within industrial settings. Stress, defined as an individual's internal sense of discontentment, represents an adaptive response to external circumstances, leading to a range of psychological, physical, and behavioral changes among professionals in managerial roles. Within the workplace, stress exerts a pervasive influence, impacting various facets such as increasing complexities and altering the demands and functions of organizations. It is crucial to recognize that stress transcends individual experiences, extending to become a social and industrial concern, affecting management professionals within the industry as well. Researchers have coined the term "Occupational Stress" to encapsulate the physical and mental strain experienced by workers in response to job-related situations. An investigation was conducted to delve into the intricate interplay of personal factors, including lifestyle choices, on the complex landscape of stress and depressive symptoms among urban residents in Jaipur region. The study involved the random collection and analysis of data from a sizable cohort of 500 individuals, employing sophisticated path analysis techniques to unveil the underlying dynamics. The comprehensive analysis yielded the following insightful findings: 1) Individuals who embraced a healthy lifestyle reported a perceptibly diminished level of subjective stress, indicating a potential protective effect conferred by wholesome living habits. 2) Top management emerged as a significant modifier in the relationship between lifestyle and depressive symptoms. In labor class, the adoption of a healthy lifestyle was correlated with a reduction in direct depressive symptoms. Conversely, top management, a healthy lifestyle was associated with a decrease in indirect depressive symptoms, largely mediated by the amelioration of subjective stress levels. 3) Type A personality traits exerted a nuanced influence, with distinct manifestations across gender lines. Male participants characterized by Type A behavior reported lower levels of perceived subjective stress, hinting at a possible coping mechanism inherent to this personality profile. In contrast, females with Type A tendencies exhibited a higher frequency of life events, suggesting a propensity towards heightened stressors in their environment. These findings underscore the intricate interplay between individual characteristics, lifestyle choices, and the experience of stress and depressive symptoms. Moreover, they highlight the importance of holistic approaches that consider both lifestyle modifications and personality factors in promoting mental well-being. Recognizing the pivotal role of a healthy lifestyle in mitigating subjective stress underscores its significance as a cornerstone in the pursuit of mental wellness.
