Abstract
This study examines the complex relationships among job demands, organizational climate, and employee well-being, focusing on their implications for performance and retention, particularly in the healthcare sector and other high-pressure industries. Drawing from a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through surveys, interviews, and organizational records to analyze the extent to which job stressors, support systems, and workplace culture influence employee outcomes. The findings reveal that high job demands often compromise well-being and lead to burnout, negatively impacting both performance and retention. Conversely, a positive organizational climate characterized by supportive leadership, effective communication, and recognition significantly mitigates these effects, fostering resilience and job satisfaction. These results highlight the need for tailored strategies to balance demands and enhance organizational culture to ensure sustainable employee engagement. The study offers actionable insights for managers and policymakers aiming to improve employee well-being and organizational effectiveness across sectors.
