The data set was analyzed with the help of using SPSS and AMOS and the results indicate that WFC and FWC are related and cause a rise in stress levels among clinical doctors, whereas coming to the part of Subjective Happiness(SH), it is examined that majority of the employees were satisfied with their current situation.
