Impact of Stress and Psychological Abuse on Workers’ Performance within the Organization

Abstract

This research explores the impact of stress and psychological abuse on employees’ performance in organizational settings. Workplace stress and abuse, often overlooked, have become central challenges affecting both employee well-being and organizational efficiency. Drawing on a sample of organizational employees and analyzing quantitative survey data, the study investigates how persistent stressors and exposure to psychological abuse influence work commitment, job satisfaction, and performance outcomes. Results indicate a significant negative relationship between stress, psychological abuse, and performance, while organizational support and resilience strategies play mediating roles. The findings highlight the importance of promoting healthy work environments, implementing policies against abuse, and providing stress management resources. This study contributes to organizational behavior literature by contextualizing stress and abuse within modern workplaces and offering practical recommendations for improving performance outcomes.
