By employing a descriptive research design and survey methodology, data was gathered from 418 employees within the sector using simple random sampling techniques. The findings shed light on key aspects that have undergone transformation and the performance of the industry's workforce.  the findings suggest that employees in the oil and gas industry in Gujarat perceive their performance positively in various crucial aspects, including adaptability, satisfaction, and collaboration.
