    Professional sports are highly competitive, which often draws attention to the physical prowess of the athletes. The success and well-being of the athletes are determined by an intricate web of mental and emotional challenges, especially stress management and emotional maturity. Sportswomen are facing a variety of demands beyond the court, including rigorous training, intense competition, and the highs and lows of their careers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between stress management and emotional maturity among employed and unemployed sportswomen. To determine the influence of emotional maturity and stress management. Participants included 146 sportswomen (70 unemployed and 76 employed sportswomen) from all over Kerala. Stress management and emotional maturity were assessed using standard questionnaires. The results showed that emotional maturity was significantly deference in employed and unemployed sportswomen (p=.003, d=0.50). However, there was no difference in stress management between employed and unemployed sportswomen (p= .283, d=0.18). From the correlation analysis, emotional maturity showed a significant negative association with stress management in total sportswomen (r=-.374, p<.01), unemployed sportswomen (r=-.241, p<.05), and employed sportswomen (r=-.450, p<.01). The regression, emotional maturity had a minimal negative effect on stress management (β=-.374) with a 13.4 percent prediction in total sportswomen. And emotional maturity had a minimal negative effect on stress management (β=-.241) with a 4.5 percentage of prediction in unemployed sportswomen. Finally, emotional maturity had a minimal negative effect on stress management (β=-.450) with a 19 percentage of prediction in employed sportswomen. It is concluded that, while emotional maturity helps employed sportswomen manage stress, it has a limited influence on unemployed sportswomen. The connection shows a strong negative relationship between emotional maturity and stress management of overall sportswomen and also employed sportswomen. However, this association is seen among unemployed sportswomen with a weak negative effect
