Abstract

The objective of the present study is to investigate the impact of strategic behaviour on work-related stress experienced by a sample of bank employees. The research sample comprises 120 individuals, who were selected to represent the population of interest. The study utilised four independent variables (Prospective Behaviour, Defender, Analytical Behaviour, Interactive Behaviour) and one dependent variable, which assessed the pressures of banking work across four dimensions: occupational risks, organisational issues, workload, and physical work environment. In pursuit of the research objectives and to test its hypotheses, the researchers utilised a questionnaire consisting of 32 items as the primary data collection tool to establish exploratory structural validity. This approach was deemed essential to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the findings. The study culminated in a series of conclusions and suggestions that could be further expanded upon in the realm of search variables.
