The data is collected from BMTC Conductors aged between 25-35 years. The size of the sample was 60, 38 men and 22 women. And also an overall analysis of the influence of stress on psychological wellbeing on BMTC conductors is carried out. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation coefficient.

Analysis and Interpretation
