THE IMPACT OF WORK PRESSURES ON JOB PERFORMANCE IN AL RAJHI BANK IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA

One of the common problems in today's cutthroat world is job pressure, which has detrimental effects on individuals and businesses, especially Al Rajhi Bank employees. In order to determine the impact of factors that contribute to job stress, such as workload, role conflict, role ambiguity, working hours, job insecurity, and inadequate pay, on performance, this study aims to investigate the relationship between job stress and job performance among Al Rajhi Bank employees in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The positivist philosophy was adopted as a result of several things. To test hypotheses and determine the impact of work pressure on job performance among Saudi Arabian workers of Al Rajhi Bank, the philosophy must first align with the study question and objectives. Few studies have examined the effects of occupational stress on Saudi Arabian consultants, despite the fact that many have examined how it impacts employees' performance. 184 structured questionnaires were collected from different Saudi Arabian Al Rajhi Banks in order to achieve the study's objective. SPSS was then used to analyze the data. The results of the study show a substantial correlation between job performance and job stress. Furthermore, the findings show that the dependent variable, employee performance, is significantly impacted by the independent variables role ambiguity, role conflict, task overload, job stability, inadequate compensation, and working hours. According to the study, managers ought to be more aware of the factors that contribute to workers' increased levels of stress at work and the factors that affect their performance. Business managers should also engage with their employees by listening to their concerns and issues related to their jobs and resolving them before they worsen and impair their performance. The following is a summary of the study's limitations: First off, the study's findings might not be relevant in other nations due to the basic differences in organizational structure and culture between Saudi Arabia and other countries. Second, because the poll was developed and disseminated via electronic media during a time when management and Al Rajhi Bank staff were very busy, it might not have included every employee in Saudi Arabia because of their commitment to clients. The study's sample is 37% male, which is less than the percentage of female participants. Future research may make sure that a more equal ratio is included in the study, which can improve the findings' robustness and also lead to new findings.
