摘要

Abstract

This study explores the impact of work pressure on occupational stress and turnover intentions among office employees. Surveying 317 individuals in Vietnamese business settings using structural equation modeling (SEM)

we identified significant correlations between work pressure factors - including workload

work time

working conditions

and the work environment - and both occupational stress and turnover intentions. An interesting revelation emerged: while working conditions affect job stress

they do not directly affect employees' inclination to leave their jobs. Practical recommendations are provided to help businesses mitigate work-related stress and reduce turnover intentions among office employees.
