The Impact of Occupational Stress on the Performance of Employees: Systematic Review
Keywords:
Occupational stress, employee performance, time pressure, negative productivity, motivation, overwork, stress, work-related stress, lack of clarityAbstract
The research investigates different levels of stress and anxiety caused by organizational factors and their impact on employee performance. The study reviews three scientific papers on employee stress and workplace performance. Various methods, theory tests, and approaches employed in the research papers are evaluated and compared to form the basis for the report's hypothesis. The report reviews and tests five hypotheses based on the underlying theme of the impact of organizational stress on employee performance.
Based on secondary research, organizational stress is found to have a significant impact on employee performance. Time pressure is identified as a factor affecting employee performance, leading to negative productivity. A heavy workload and lack of motivation among employees are highlighted as factors influencing performance negatively. Job stress, particularly due to overworking, significantly affects employee wellness, with 97% reporting an impact. A substantial 99% of employees reported that job stress affected their performance during working hours. Time pressure is identified as a major issue significantly and adversely affecting employee performance. Factors like work-related stress and a lack of clarity regarding work responsibilities influence employee performance in the occupational setting. The research finds that organizational stress, influenced by factors such as time pressure, workload, and motivation, has a considerable impact on employee performance. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing these stressors to enhance employee wellness and productivity in the workplace.
