چکیده

This study explores how occupational stress affects employee performance in the Bangladeshi textile industry. It evaluates the effectiveness of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle as a workplace improvement strategy. A descriptive research methodology was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Data were collected through convenience sampling using structured questionnaires to assess stress factors and their influence on job performance. Factor and regression analyses were conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) V.25. The analyses revealed key stressors, including job role disappointment, frustration, poor working relationships, concentration issues, and unfavorable physical environments. Additionally, performance was significantly affected by work pressure, resource constraints, and job insecurity. Following implementation of the PDCA cycle, participants reported noticeable reductions in stress levels and performance-related challenges, indicating PDCA's potential as a systematic approach to improving workplace conditions and employee well-being.  These outcomes underscore the importance of structured stress management practices within the textile sector and suggest that the PDCA framework can be a practical tool for fostering continuous organizational improvement. By addressing workplace stress through continuous development, this study provides a pathway to enhance worker well-being and organizational outcomes effectively.
