The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between occupational stress and job performance by using self-administered questionnaires collected from Malaysian defense and security personnel involved in humanitarian aid in the Middle East. The results of the SmartPLS path model analysis show two important findings: (1) physiological pressure is associated with job performance and (2) psychological stress is associated with significant job performance. These results indicated that occupational stress in humanitarian aid does act as an important determinant in the performance of work in the organization's sample. Furthermore, discussions, implications and conclusions are explained.

This study shows the level of stress increasing day by day in dual career women which causes some physiological changes and health problems which cause stress. Stress' word has been derived from physics and mechanics where it is defined as physical pressure exerted upon and between different parts of body, when deformation occurs as a result it is called strain. This research is devoted towards finding the root causes of the existing problems faced by the working women. Working women have to bear pressure created by the multiple roles they have to play in conflicting situations, which may adversely affect their job performance and health also. Women globally progressed and reached a new paradigm. It is very difficult to maintain a balance between professional life and family. Keeping in mind the above situation, the study was planned with the objectives to study the effects of stress on physiological parameters and to suggest possible approaches to stress management.Various physiological and some aptitude tests were done to observe the effects of stress. The major findings of the study showed considerable average difference in blood pressure, pulse pressure was found among the working women in corporate sector, whereas the difference in heart rate, respiration rate and temperature was found among the women's working as financial advisors.
