THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND EMOTIONAL EFFECTS OF SET-UP-TO-FAIL SYNDROME ON EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION, SATISFACTION AND STRESS LEVEL

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the psychological and emotional effects of Set-up-to-fail Syndrome (SUFS) on employee motivation, satisfaction and stress levels in the private banking sector in Jaipur, Rajasthan. A sample of 400 employees from different verticals of banks was selected for the study and data was collected using a Likert questionnaire. The results showed that employees who experienced SUFS reported significantly lower levels of motivation and job satisfaction and significantly higher levels of stress compared to employees who did not experience SUFS. The study also found that employees who used effective coping mechanisms such as exercise or mindfulness practices reported lower levels of stress caused by SUFS. The findings suggest that SUFS has a significant negative impact on employee well-being in the private banking sector in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Therefore, it is recommended that banks in Jaipur must take proactive measures to address this issue, such as providing adequate resources and support to employees, setting realistic expectations and fostering a positive work environment that values employee well-being.
