Abstract: The banking sector operates in a highly competitive and performance-oriented environment where employees are frequently exposed to workplace stress arising from workload pressure, customer expectations, technological changes, and target-driven responsibilities. Managing such stress effectively has become essential for maintaining employee well-being and achieving organizational performance. This study examines the effect of workplace stress management strategies on employee performance in the banking sector. The researcher adopted a descriptive research design using primary data collected from 121 banking employees through a structured questionnaire. Workplace stress management strategies such as organizational support, work–life balance, time management practices, counselling and wellness programs, and training initiatives were considered as key dimensions influencing employee performance. The findings revealed that workplace stress management strategies are moderately practiced within banks and have a significant positive influence on employee performance. Organizational support emerged as the most influential factor, while formal counselling and wellness
initiatives showed comparatively lower emphasis, indicating scope for improvement. The study concluded that effective stress management practices contribute to improved productivity, efficiency, and quality of work among banking employees.
