An organisation is frequently stated to be only as good as its human capital, which means that people are important to the firm's success. The achievement of organizational goals is a critical component of employee success. As a result, the organisation requires capable people. When people do not perform successfully, it has an effect on their performance and the organization's overall success. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence an employee's performance. Three independent variables affecting employee performance are identified based on an extensive literature analysis and the Job Demand-Control-Support (JDCS) model. They are time pressure, lack of motivation, and heavy workload. As a result, the research model was suggested. A pilot study was undertaken among academics at Universiti Teknologi MARA, Kelantan campus. The details of the factors contributing to an employee’s performance were described using descriptive statistics. The results of this study will be utilized to improve the instrument, which will then be used to collect data from a wider pool of respondents.
