Abstract
This study intends to focus on causes and identification of employees’ politics and its impact
on performance of Banking Industry in Pakistan. Here researcher emphasizes on language
and caste, experience and position, cultural animosity, religious lobbies, gender
discrimination and referral employment. As employees’ politics plays an essential role for an
organization and it exists in almost every organization so its impact on the whole workforce
can be identified in this research particularly in the UBL, Askari Bank Limited, ABL and
generally in Pakistan banking industry. Authoritative power is a major factor that cannot be
rejected in any organization and it is key force of any industry. This research is based on the
quantitative research. The primary data has been gathered through survey method.
Descriptive statistics is used and seven hypotheses are tested. Sample is gathered through
simple random sampling method out of target population of 160. The findings entails that
there should be focused on Standardize Human Resource Management (right person should
be posted to the job, bracing courses, conducting orientation on emerging banking and
problem solving). Further administration should conduct the meetings with employees and
resolve their problems and also there should be transparency and merit system observed in all
matters.
Keywords: Banking industry, Employees' Performance, Organizational Culture, Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission.

Introduction
Background of the Problem
Employees’ politics plays an essential role for an organization and it exists in every
organization. Political organization is supposed to be an informal attainment of power,
Durbin (2001). In the same way except chance or merit, it could be elucidated by power
attainment by different means. Usually it is depicted that power is acquired by using different
ways through politics. Hochwarter et al. (2000) suggests that for acquiring advantages like
finding great resources, receiving endorsement or receiving crave these all have been
employing. Institutional politics compassion is now a day perception. It usually measures
POPS (Perception of Organizational Politics Scale) and is used as a splendid political affair
measurement.
Based on 3 elements, produced a 31 items likert scale by Kacmar and Ferris (1989).
Together with these elements organizational practices and politics, associates behavior of
group and apparent behavior of supervisor are enclosed. Subsequently item scale of 40 is
developed which is comprised of 5 elements; incorporated promotion, pay, associates,
incentives, behavior of politics and self serving. In the end for measuring POP, item scales of
12 are used for their work settlement. Based upon three elements, firstly GPB (General public
behavior), secondly GAGA (go along to get ahead) and thirdly PPP (pay and promotion
policy), Kacmar and Carlson (1997) have modified the 12 item scale to measure POP. Later it
was converted into scale of 15 items based on the same three elements; this scale is used by
different researchers. Like Vigoda (2000) and Hochwarter et al. (2000).
Different studies covered that power and politics have two dimensions that are
playing a vital role for an organization and its impact on employee’s performance. It is a very
valuable instrument that measures the job satisfaction and retains employees. Many
organizations in Pakistan that hold power and politics in an unenthusiastic way when they
78
CAUSES & IDENTIFICATION OF EMP. POLITICS & ITS IMPACT ON PERF. OF BANKING IND. IN PAK.
KBJ Volume 7 Number 5 May 2014
hire / promote those employees who are not eligible for that particular post (Mayes and Allen.
1977).
Further, it is revealed that it is the influence of power, which impacts on other people.
Basically power is an ability that the pressure imposed by A to the B behavior so that A plays
accordingly with A’s requirements. Several studies have been made in the field because of
employees performance is extremely significant for organizations, if they aren't motivated so
they can’t produce the productivity for an organization. However, if there is bad power and
politics, it will affect the whole organization and same influence. Studies in the banking
sector of Pakistan show most of the employees are de-motivated and cannot evaluate their
performance in a proper way. Several factors have been studied about satisfaction but nobody
still has studied the factors of politics which influence the performance of banks of Pakistan.
An Overview of Banking Industry and Organization under Study
Banking sector is playing a significant role to provide the financial support to the
several industries. The primary responsibility is to control the national assets. The central
control of banking system in Pakistan is monitor by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). SBP
has wide range of private, commercial and Islamic banks that deal in several financial
products in the market. In recent practices, banks provide the several facilities to their
customers via online banking, mobile banking, debit and credit cards and ATM etc.
Justification of Research Study
Keeping in view the above facts, researcher has come to know that there is a gap in
the bank, which is involvement of employees and it decreases the productivity of bank and
most of the employees are not satisfied with their jobs so on this way it gives researcher a lot
of courage to identify the basic causes that bring a warm courage and suggest to perform
employees in better way for the productivity. Most of the employees have been de-motivated
79
CAUSES & IDENTIFICATION OF EMP. POLITICS & ITS IMPACT ON PERF. OF BANKING IND. IN PAK.
KBJ Volume 7 Number 5 May 2014
from their jobs and the reason behind it is to encourage those employees who didn’t qualify
for that particular post.
Research Question
The researcher has made the basic research question to study as what are the causes
and factors associated with the power and politics of employees in banking industry.
Problem Statement
“Power and politics have significant impact on performance of employees and result
in productivity of banking sector in Pakistan.”
Significance of the Study
The significance of this study is for employees’ performance and employees are our
prime assets, who can make the organization better and if they are not satisfied with their jobs
so they cannot produce the productivity in the workforce. Its impact on the whole workforce
can be identified in this research particularly in the Askari Bank Limited, UBL and ABL and
generally in Pakistan banking industry.
Scope of the Study
This study will be providing encouragement for upcoming researchers to recognize
the factors of Employees’ politics and its Impact on Performance of Banking Industry in
Pakistan. This study will be helpful to understand the current conditions and situation of
“Banking Industry in Pakistan”. Further this study will be supportive to Human Resource
Departments of different organizations those are searching for productivity of an
organization, job satisfaction and opportunity for promotions of employees and also helpful
to planers and stakeholders’ before opening organization to plan for such a situation in
advance.

Data Collection Method
This research is basically empirical and exploratory in nature, so the researcher used
Employed Survey method through simple random sampling to select banks. The data was
then tabulated and analyzed for the defined purposes. Main data collection instrument was
closed ended questionnaire which used likert scale. 20 branches of UBL, 15 branches of
Askari Bank and 30 branches of Allied bank in Karachi were included in this study, based on
the Employees’ job position of lower to upper class such as: guards to manager of banks so
this study includes all the job levels. The experience of employees was around 3 to 20 years.
On the other hand, different data basis such as: journals, magazines, newspapers, Libraries,
82
CAUSES & IDENTIFICATION OF EMP. POLITICS & ITS IMPACT ON PERF. OF BANKING IND. IN PAK.
KBJ Volume 7 Number 5 May 2014
thesis, press releases, census reports, seminar, electronic resources NGOs reports and
conferences, secondary data have been gathered. All these resources were sorted out and
extracted the related information which was necessary to support this study.
The Delimitation of the Study
This study has its own limitations due to consideration of the accuracy of data and due
to the time and budget constraints. Further this research study is restricted to banks of urban
Karachi so the outcome of the study might not be applied as generalized outcome for overall
Pakistan. Additionally there were no equal selection of respondents’ category, and due to
severe workload employees have filled the data in hurry and were not given enough time for
a detailed review of data collection tool as time strain was the problem, so researcher faced
difficulty in collection of respondents’ views. Therefore outcomes might not be correct.
Literature Review
Power & Politics
Power is major factor that cannot be rejected in any organization and it is key force of
any industry. Pfeffer (1992) state that power and politics exist in each organization although
it is simpler to converse about gender or money than about power almost certainly due to
disagreement or due to penalty that can be born of the two. Robbins (2003, p.365) defined
power is a natural trait amidst individuals and organization. Organizations are collection of
individuals who have inconsistent objectives, wishes, principles and belief. These individuals
exercise power with, for, or against people. There is a desire for power manage and
dominance over these individuals. Wiener (2002, p.19): focused on the opinion of John
Adams 2nd
President of United States that “I believe there is one rule which commands in
person nature… while this zeal for dominance”. There are three assumptions that they
described although power is exist in each of organization, its natural inclination however it
promote the validity towards the employees’ performance.

KBJ Volume 7 Number 5 May 2014
Language & Cast
Recent study outlined by Charles (2007) suggests that simply language may allow
persons as well as organizations in the direction of converse. Therefore, it is of vital
significance to scrutinize communication and language progressions which make happened
globalization. Kassis Henderson, 2005; DiStefano & Maznevski, 2000; Iles & Hayers, 1997;
Lagerström & Andersson, 2003 and Schweiger et al., 2003) Claims that due to mutuality of
persons engaged within the international and multilingual groups and systems, one specific
challenge is building relations with associates. This is particularly complicated during the
effective groups working in dissimilar geological places, along with investigate taking place
groups in globally working groups has demonstrate that language-associated problems might
contain a negative encroachment on interpersonal associations, faith, furthermore place of
work background.
Job Position
Elangovan, & Xie, (1999) & Spreitzer, (1995) stated that as an essential factor
performance of an employee within industry analytics is for maintaining and increasing
organizational effectiveness maintenance and competence. Operationally job performance of
an employee is outlined as far as completion of responsibilities that are requisite for certain
position acquaintance, which organization supposes to get within from he/she. Few
supervisors’ general tasks are to work assign, and provide their associates, the knowledge or
guidance (Eisenberger, Huntington, Hutchison, & Sowa, 1986) found that operationally POS
(perceived Organizational Support) is cleared as: business contribution appraises of his/her,
the extent to built trust of employee on business.
Cultural Animosity
Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck (1961) Stated that various different assessment importance
can be selected to qualify cultures. Other than using capricious suspicions to choose values
84
CAUSES & IDENTIFICATION OF EMP. POLITICS & ITS IMPACT ON PERF. OF BANKING IND. IN PAK.
KBJ Volume 7 Number 5 May 2014
significant to domination, Author exploit the key proportions of culture recognized in the
theoretical and empirical study on psychology cross-cultural, it identified the different
national has different culture that is cross-national examinations further more cross-cultural is
every societies where they face the similar basic problems when they come to standardize
person activity. Skinner (1981) Argues that the place of support is only culture. Hofstede
(1980) State that individuals’ reactions leads the intellectual programs through culture.
Religious Lobbies
Religion can influence worldwide trade in various methods. There is connection
between religion and cultural society that openly leads the behavior of human. Further it
related with commercial activity such as international trade inspires from culture then again
there is probable disappointment of the temporary pursuit of happiness as well as it can
reduce the persons hopes towards engagement in temporary social enhancing trade.
Gender Discrimination
Becker, (1964, 1976) claimed that one can outlined the industry discrimination as
individual belief or detest not in favor of a group specifically. Potentially every individual has
such flavors. Behaviors of humans are directed by such flavors for efficiency of the women
employment and rewards incentives. Such inconsistent proportion can measure the
discrimination depth flavors Fischer (1987). It is elaborated that women employment is
considered such discrimination flavors of an employer recognizes an additional charge. In
such conditions, employment cost of a woman equalizes the woman reward plus the manager
discrimination proportion, while employment cost of a man equalizes the man reward. It
therefore underscores that woman is recruited only with low wage than man by the
employers.

KBJ Volume 7 Number 5 May 2014
Referral Employment
Person’s recruiters are allowed to “neglect” referrals: It’s not uncommon for usual
recruiters to neglect or pay slight concentration to applicants who come from employer
referrals. It is usually an ego object because they do not firstly “discover” the applicant.
Besides, there requests to be measures and incentives that inspire recruiters to spotlight on
employer referrals.
Jones, Chapman, Caroll Uggerslev & Piasentin (2005) defines that human resources is
one of the most precious assets of an organization and recruitment assists the significant role
of attracting the essential ability. Zottoli And Wanous (2000); Lievens And Van Hoye
(2009); Mellewigt And Holtom ,Weller, Matiaske, (2009) states that positive referral
employment has been discovered to be one of the most successful recruitment causes,
granting their positive encroachment on pre-hire recruitment results for example
organizational attractiveness and application judgments as well as on post-hire attitude and
job performance.
Research Methodology
In this study researcher utilized both primary and secondary sources and employed,
quantitative research approach to determine the study purpose to examine the data reliability
as well as validity of the data. The researcher was targeted the 160 responded from different
the job designation were ranges from “Managers to clerk” which shows that the sample
incorporated all the employees involved in power and politics that readily impact the
performance of employees. Likert scale was used which contains various communicative
expression of opinion on the particular subject. The researcher was worked out the
questionnaire of twenty-four closed ended questions put an end.

b. Dependent Variable: Employees' Performance
The Model Summary defines the R value which is .59 it recognized as a simple
correlation whereas, R Square identifying the overall measure of the strength of relationship
while Adjusted R Square is the adjustment of R Square.
R Square: 0.352 clarifies the response data variability of the model around its mean.
Generally the model fits better below 1 the R Squared higher. R Squared is the variance of
overall variables it explains the model fit while when we convert into percentage the value
comes 35.2%.
Std Error of Estimate: The dispersal of the dependent variables is approximately measured by
the Std. error, which calculates its mean approximately (in this case, the “the Estimate Std.
Error” is .65629). Here contrast this to the dependent variables predicted values of the mean.
Durbin Watson: In residual correlation following figure shows the evaluation for
autocorrelation from an analysis of statistical regression. Persistently the statistics of Durbin-
Watson is between 0 and 4 and if there is no autocorrelation persist in a sample it value
around 2 mean.

Sum of Squares: The regression sum of squares notifies that how much variability (not
variance yet) is accumulated for with the regression model, which is the fitting of the least -
squares line. The residual sum of squares enlightens us how much variability (again, not
variance yet) is unaccounted for with the regression model. The total variability is sum of
squares is (101.066). The degree to which the regression sum of squares is huge relative to
the residual sum of squares is the level to which more variability than not is explained for
with our model.
F - Ratio for Regression Model: The F test for the regression model is calculated from Mean
Regression and Mean Residual For example our figures, it is equal to 5.085/.431 = 11.807. In
null hypotheses testing R or R square must be equal to zero. The test of significance disclose
that the probability of attaining an F stat as the one we have gained or greater than an F
sharing on 7 and 152 degrees of freedom is very low value, less than .001. Therefore, null
hypothesis has been rejected by the researcher if R Square in the population is equivalent to
zero, and conclude that as it was not equal to zero in the statistical alternative hypothesis.

Unstandardized Coefficients: Researcher has analysis the independent variable whereas
Religious Lobbies has the negative figure of (-.133). Negative beta coefficient change in Y is
happened by the positive standard deviation of 1 unit change in X, exclaimed as negative beta
coefficient.
Standardized Coefficients (BETA): It works to show us the level of strength of the
independent variable on that of the dependent, thus the higher Standardized Coefficients
(BETA) of independent variable has the higher affect over dependent variable such as
“Cultural Animosity (.351)” it shows the highest impact.
Significance: Dependent variable: Employee performance has impact on independent
variables including Religious Lobbies, Cultural Animosity and Referral employment because
there is significant impact while remaining independent variables has no impact on Employee
performance due to insignificant impact.
Conclusion
This research used quantitative statistics which provided the relationship between
overall variables. The researcher has used both techniques manual and as well as online
survey form from all over the Pakistan while mostly population has taken from Karachi city
and there are several banks included Bank Al-Habib, Meezan Bank, United Bank, Askari
Bank, Summit Bank, Allied Bank of Pakistan and Muslim Commercial Bank and finally this
study was entailed that, banking industry is playing a vital role, whereas the trend of banking
industry is increasing day by day while most of the employees are dissatisfy from their jobs
due to undue influence, coercive pressure and there are many reasons this is the major reason
that most of the employees leave their organization or they diverted. It is vital for an
organization that should follow “Equal Opportunity Employment Commission”, whereas they
provide the rights of employees and it is benefit for an organization because productivity is
possible when their employees are satisfied.
89

Recommendations
In this study, researcher recommends that the organizations should follow some basic
points included:
 Legislate or impose the law such as (Equal Opportunity Employment Commission)
 There should be transparency and merit system in all matters.
 Standardize of Human Resource Management (best person should be posted
to best job, bracing courses, conducting orientation on emerging banking and problem
solving.
 Employees administration, because Employees are dominant than any entity
(promotion policies, award & reward, Reorganizations and norms)
 Research and Development facilities because later on we can predict any uncertain
situation
 General working conditions must to be improved.
 Administration should conduct the meetings with employees and resolve their problems.
In addition researcher further advised that the company should build a pillar with the
concrete of their mission, ethics, norms and values through which their employees will take
their organization towards their vision; the way the employees work will show their
satisfaction.

  • 3. 77 CAUSES & IDENTIFICATION OF EMP. POLITICS & ITS IMPACT ON PERF. OF BANKING IND. IN PAK. KBJ Volume 7 Number 5 May 2014 Introduction Background of the Problem Employees’ politics plays an essential role for an organization and it exists in every organization. Political organization is supposed to be an informal attainment of power, Durbin (2001). In the same way except chance or merit, it could be elucidated by power attainment by different means. Usually it is depicted that power is acquired by using different ways through politics. Hochwarter et al. (2000) suggests that for acquiring advantages like finding great resources, receiving endorsement or receiving crave these all have been employing. Institutional politics compassion is now a day perception. It usually measures POPS (Perception of Organizational Politics Scale) and is used as a splendid political affair measurement. Based on 3 elements, produced a 31 items likert scale by Kacmar and Ferris (1989). Together with these elements organizational practices and politics, associates behavior of group and apparent behavior of supervisor are enclosed. Subsequently item scale of 40 is developed which is comprised of 5 elements; incorporated promotion, pay, associates, incentives, behavior of politics and self serving. In the end for measuring POP, item scales of 12 are used for their work settlement. Based upon three elements, firstly GPB (General public behavior), secondly GAGA (go along to get ahead) and thirdly PPP (pay and promotion policy), Kacmar and Carlson (1997) have modified the 12 item scale to measure POP. Later it was converted into scale of 15 items based on the same three elements; this scale is used by different researchers. Like Vigoda (2000) and Hochwarter et al. (2000). Different studies covered that power and politics have two dimensions that are playing a vital role for an organization and its impact on employee’s performance. It is a very valuable instrument that measures the job satisfaction and retains employees. Many organizations in Pakistan that hold power and politics in an unenthusiastic way when they

KBJ Volume 7 Number 5 May 2014 hire / promote those employees who are not eligible for that particular post (Mayes and Allen. 1977). Further, it is revealed that it is the influence of power, which impacts on other people. Basically power is an ability that the pressure imposed by A to the B behavior so that A plays accordingly with A’s requirements. Several studies have been made in the field because of employees performance is extremely significant for organizations, if they aren't motivated so they can’t produce the productivity for an organization. However, if there is bad power and politics, it will affect the whole organization and same influence. Studies in the banking sector of Pakistan show most of the employees are de-motivated and cannot evaluate their performance in a proper way. Several factors have been studied about satisfaction but nobody still has studied the factors of politics which influence the performance of banks of Pakistan. An Overview of Banking Industry and Organization under Study Banking sector is playing a significant role to provide the financial support to the several industries. The primary responsibility is to control the national assets. The central control of banking system in Pakistan is monitor by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). SBP has wide range of private, commercial and Islamic banks that deal in several financial products in the market. In recent practices, banks provide the several facilities to their customers via online banking, mobile banking, debit and credit cards and ATM etc. Justification of Research Study Keeping in view the above facts, researcher has come to know that there is a gap in the bank, which is involvement of employees and it decreases the productivity of bank and most of the employees are not satisfied with their jobs so on this way it gives researcher a lot of courage to identify the basic causes that bring a warm courage and suggest to perform employees in better way for the productivity. Most of the employees have been de-motivated

KBJ Volume 7 Number 5 May 2014 thesis, press releases, census reports, seminar, electronic resources NGOs reports and conferences, secondary data have been gathered. All these resources were sorted out and extracted the related information which was necessary to support this study. The Delimitation of the Study This study has its own limitations due to consideration of the accuracy of data and due to the time and budget constraints. Further this research study is restricted to banks of urban Karachi so the outcome of the study might not be applied as generalized outcome for overall Pakistan. Additionally there were no equal selection of respondents’ category, and due to severe workload employees have filled the data in hurry and were not given enough time for a detailed review of data collection tool as time strain was the problem, so researcher faced difficulty in collection of respondents’ views. Therefore outcomes might not be correct. Literature Review Power & Politics Power is major factor that cannot be rejected in any organization and it is key force of any industry. Pfeffer (1992) state that power and politics exist in each organization although it is simpler to converse about gender or money than about power almost certainly due to disagreement or due to penalty that can be born of the two. Robbins (2003, p.365) defined power is a natural trait amidst individuals and organization. Organizations are collection of individuals who have inconsistent objectives, wishes, principles and belief. These individuals exercise power with, for, or against people. There is a desire for power manage and dominance over these individuals. Wiener (2002, p.19): focused on the opinion of John Adams 2nd President of United States that “I believe there is one rule which commands in person nature… while this zeal for dominance”.

Therefore, it is of vital significance to scrutinize communication and language progressions which make happened globalization. Kassis Henderson, 2005; DiStefano & Maznevski, 2000; Iles & Hayers, 1997; Lagerström & Andersson, 2003 and Schweiger et al., 2003) Claims that due to mutuality of persons engaged within the international and multilingual groups and systems, one specific challenge is building relations with associates. This is particularly complicated during the effective groups working in dissimilar geological places, along with investigate taking place groups in globally working groups has demonstrate that language-associated problems might contain a negative encroachment on interpersonal associations, faith, furthermore place of work background. Job Position Elangovan, & Xie, (1999) & Spreitzer, (1995) stated that as an essential factor performance of an employee within industry analytics is for maintaining and increasing organizational effectiveness maintenance and competence. Operationally job performance of an employee is outlined as far as completion of responsibilities that are requisite for certain position acquaintance, which organization supposes to get within from he/she. Few supervisors’ general tasks are to work assign, and provide their associates, the knowledge or guidance (Eisenberger, Huntington, Hutchison, & Sowa, 1986) found that operationally POS (perceived Organizational Support) is cleared as: business contribution appraises of his/her, the extent to built trust of employee on business.

Skinner (1981) Argues that the place of support is only culture. Hofstede (1980) State that individuals’ reactions leads the intellectual programs through culture. Religious Lobbies Religion can influence worldwide trade in various methods. There is connection between religion and cultural society that openly leads the behavior of human. Further it related with commercial activity such as international trade inspires from culture then again there is probable disappointment of the temporary pursuit of happiness as well as it can reduce the persons hopes towards engagement in temporary social enhancing trade. Gender Discrimination Becker, (1964, 1976) claimed that one can outlined the industry discrimination as individual belief or detest not in favor of a group specifically. Potentially every individual has such flavors. Behaviors of humans are directed by such flavors for efficiency of the women employment and rewards incentives. Such inconsistent proportion can measure the discrimination depth flavors Fischer (1987). It is elaborated that women employment is considered such discrimination flavors of an employer recognizes an additional charge. In such conditions, employment cost of a woman equalizes the woman reward plus the manager discrimination proportion, while employment cost of a man equalizes the man reward. It therefore underscores that woman is recruited only with low wage than man by the employers.

KBJ Volume 7 Number 5 May 2014 Referral Employment Person’s recruiters are allowed to “neglect” referrals: It’s not uncommon for usual recruiters to neglect or pay slight concentration to applicants who come from employer referrals. It is usually an ego object because they do not firstly “discover” the applicant. Besides, there requests to be measures and incentives that inspire recruiters to spotlight on employer referrals. Jones, Chapman, Caroll Uggerslev & Piasentin (2005) defines that human resources is one of the most precious assets of an organization and recruitment assists the significant role of attracting the essential ability. Zottoli And Wanous (2000); Lievens And Van Hoye (2009); Mellewigt And Holtom ,Weller, Matiaske, (2009) states that positive referral employment has been discovered to be one of the most successful recruitment causes, granting their positive encroachment on pre-hire recruitment results for example organizational attractiveness and application judgments as well as on post-hire attitude and job performance. Research Methodology In this study researcher utilized both primary and secondary sources and employed, quantitative research approach to determine the study purpose to examine the data reliability as well as validity of the data. The researcher was targeted the 160 responded from different the job designation were ranges from “Managers to clerk” which shows that the sample incorporated all the employees involved in power and politics that readily impact the performance of employees. Likert scale was used which contains various communicative expression of opinion on the particular subject. The researcher was worked out the questionnaire of twenty-four closed ended questions put an end.

Dependent Variable: Employees' Performance The Model Summary defines the R value which is .59 it recognized as a simple correlation whereas, R Square identifying the overall measure of the strength of relationship while Adjusted R Square is the adjustment of R Square. R Square: 0.352 clarifies the response data variability of the model around its mean. Generally the model fits better below 1 the R Squared higher. R Squared is the variance of overall variables it explains the model fit while when we convert into percentage the value comes 35.2%. Std Error of Estimate: The dispersal of the dependent variables is approximately measured by the Std. error, which calculates its mean approximately (in this case, the “the Estimate Std.

KBJ Volume 7 Number 5 May 2014 Sum of Squares: The regression sum of squares notifies that how much variability (not variance yet) is accumulated for with the regression model, which is the fitting of the least - squares line. The residual sum of squares enlightens us how much variability (again, not variance yet) is unaccounted for with the regression model. The total variability is sum of squares is (101.066). The degree to which the regression sum of squares is huge relative to the residual sum of squares is the level to which more variability than not is explained for with our model. F - Ratio for Regression Model: The F test for the regression model is calculated from Mean Regression and Mean Residual For example our figures, it is equal to 5.085/.431 = 11.807. In null hypotheses testing R or R square must be equal to zero. The test of significance disclose that the probability of attaining an F stat as the one we have gained or greater than an F sharing on 7 and 152 degrees of freedom is very low value, less than .001. Therefore, null hypothesis has been rejected by the researcher if R Square in the population is equivalent to zero, and conclude that as it was not equal to zero in the statistical alternative hypothesis. Sig=.000(a) it means our model has goodness of fit. Table 3: Coefficient Model Unstandardized Coefficients Standardized Coefficients t Sig.B Std.

Negative beta coefficient change in Y is happened by the positive standard deviation of 1 unit change in X, exclaimed as negative beta coefficient. Standardized Coefficients (BETA): It works to show us the level of strength of the independent variable on that of the dependent, thus the higher Standardized Coefficients (BETA) of independent variable has the higher affect over dependent variable such as “Cultural Animosity (.351)” it shows the highest impact. Significance: Dependent variable: Employee performance has impact on independent variables including Religious Lobbies, Cultural Animosity and Referral employment because there is significant impact while remaining independent variables has no impact on Employee performance due to insignificant impact. Conclusion This research used quantitative statistics which provided the relationship between overall variables. The researcher has used both techniques manual and as well as online survey form from all over the Pakistan while mostly population has taken from Karachi city and there are several banks included Bank Al-Habib, Meezan Bank, United Bank, Askari Bank, Summit Bank, Allied Bank of Pakistan and Muslim Commercial Bank and finally this study was entailed that, banking industry is playing a vital role, whereas the trend of banking industry is increasing day by day while most of the employees are dissatisfy from their jobs due to undue influence, coercive pressure and there are many reasons this is the major reason that most of the employees leave their organization or they diverted. It is vital for an organization that should follow “Equal Opportunity Employment Commission”, whereas they provide the rights of employees and it is benefit for an organization because productivity is possible when their employees are satisfied.
