Abstract

An executive job performance is a considerable factor influencing the successful and performance level of the organization. Therefore, the organization’s performance should be a primary basis to evaluate an executive. This research encapsulates the quantitative analysis to assess the relationship between the executive job performance in private organization in Northern region, Malaysia using an attribute of primary work – related stressor. The finding shows mental health (attributes of organizational roles) and office ergonomics (attributes of factor intrinsic) have a significant positive relationship in determining the executive job performance in the context of study. Meanwhile, finding shows there is no significant relationship between an organizational culture (attributes of organizational factor). Strong relation of mental health to the dependent variable proven by Beta value suggests the successful mental health intervention strategy could have a profound effect on the executive job performance. In the final chapter, recommendations in the perspective of managerial implication have been proposed accordingly, as well as the potential future research perspective.
