Corporate Sustainability as a Tool for Improving Economic, Social, and Environmental Performance

Abstract

Saudi government pays high attention to the public sectors, such as Saudi Port Authority, in order to gain high level of competition in the global market. Saudi ports, which are considered as one of the busiest ports in the world, and the largest in the Middle East area. However, it has recently faced a severe problem of overstock of commodities. Although, the ports have significant contribution to the local economy, but, improper work environments and the heavy duty of the work has resulted in dissatisfaction and a low level of employees comments among cargo employees, which results in overstock of commodities at Saudi Ports Authority. Questionnaires were distributed to 365 government workers in the cargo sector, 285 were filled up. The outcomes of the study imply that work stress and working conditions may positively affect employee commitment, and that job happiness is an essential factor that workers can embrace in reaching their goals. On the other hand, workplace stress and working conditions might enhance commitment indirectly by giving job satisfaction.
