Abstract

This article is directed at determining the effect of job pressure on employees' occupational performance and well-being. This report on observational research focused on some staff in the public or private sectors in Pakistan who are providing training in the business-related fields of organization, planning, and fashion and textiles. Accurate details were obtained from the synopsis in light of the close questions. This research involves 247 Females and 153 males for data collection in private and public sectors such as banks, hospitals, academics, and universities This study has included a standardized questionnaire using quantitative research methodology. The deductive method is used. The study collected 400 sample responses from staff members using the convenience sampling technique. The PLS-SEM analysis was used for data analysis through Smart PLS 4 and SPSS 24.0 is also used for descriptive statistics and demographic analysis. The path analysis is conducted using hypothesis testing, reliability, validity, discriminant validity using the Fornell and Larcker criterion (FLC), and multi-group analysis. The results show a positive impact on employees’ job performance and well-being. Numerous straight-relapse techniques were exploited to test the assumption. The conclusion based on these statistics is that exposure to duty, work effort, and the exclusion of financial incentives or benefits, which serve a great purpose in generating pressure on workers, also diminishes this productivity. Therefore, it is recommended that businesses reduce pressure by reducing accountability, and career-related stress, giving enough liquidation, and directing workers to additionally develop their work execution together with occupation fulfillment.
