THE IMPACT OF JOB STRESS IN THE BANKING SECTOR ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE

Abstract

It has been demonstrated that stress in the workplace has a negative impact on profits and productivity as well as on employees' health and well-being. The inability to meet the demands of the job, a mismatch with the job profile, job insecurity, relationships with coworkers, and other organizational structural factors could all contribute to occupational stress. In the present fast speed situation workers go through elevated degree of word related pressure, grater disappointment, and have higher work assumptions. Individuals and organizations can take steps to either lessen the negative effects of stress or prevent it from occurring in the first place. In any case, representatives first need to figure out how to perceive the signs that show they are feeling worried, and businesses should know about the impacts that pressure has on their workers' wellbeing as well as on organization benefits. The empirical impact of workplace stress on Banks employees' performance is examined in this paper. The sample for this study was gathered from banks in major Rajasthan State cities. Using a questionnaire about structures, pertinent data were gathered. The hypothesis was examined with the help of the Z-test. The finding demonstrated that employees' poor mental and psychological health is caused by subjective effects like fear, rage, and anxiety brought on by workplace stress. On the basis of these findings, it was suggested that banks redesign their jobs to reduce psychological strain, job insecurity, and clear role ambiguity. It is possible to organize additional support activities like short-term time management courses, workshops on stress management, and behavioral and psychological counseling.
