Mid-Career Derailment:An Empirical Study

This paper makes an attempt to know the various reasons for which the mid life crisis comes in the life of an employee. No person would be mentally ready to get this unwanted and that to unexpected crisis. However, during the study we found certain gaps between the expectations of the employers and performance level of the employees which contributes a lot in this direction. Through this paper we tried to touch certain issues which would help to some extent for controlling the crisis. To understand the ground reality, a survey was conducted in both the organized and unorganized sectors. 200 questionnaires were distributed of which 118 responses were received.
