Working individuals perceived stress during the COVID-19 pandemic was influenced by coping mechanisms. As a result, the overall aim of this study is to investigate coping mechanisms and perceived stress among working individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. The location for this study has been chosen as Taman Bandar Baru Selayang Fasa 2A, Batu Caves, Selangor, with a sample size of 169 working individuals. The questionnaire was created and sent to working individuals via convenient sampling. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to perform the reliability, normality, and inferential statistics such as the Independent Sample T-test, One-Way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation, and Multiple Regression. According to the findings, there are significant difference in perceived stress among working individuals based on age and marital status. Positive reinterpretation and growth, active coping, denial, use of emotional social support, acceptance, and perceived stress have a significant relationship among working individuals. Furthermore, denial has a positive correlation with perceived stress. Positive reinterpretation and growth, active coping, use of emotional social support, and acceptance, on the other hand, have a negative correlation with perceived stress. Following that, the implications and limitations of the previous chapter's findings and results of the study were examined. Furthermore, recommendations and suggestions have been explored in order to overcome problems and issues that arise throughout the study and to improve related research in the future from a variety of perspectives.
