Environmental pressures facing Palestinian managers on the west bank

Abstract EN

For managers to achieve their objectives and fulfill their responsibilities serious consideration should be given to the environment in which they operate.

This study which covered west bank managers from the private and public sectors has examined the environmental pressure that managers face, and later examined the effect of these pressure on them.

The findings have revealed the managers on the west bank suffer from internal and external pressures.

Internal pressures mean the pressures which managers can control.

External pressures have been classified as socio-cultural, business community pressures and military occupation pressures.

The internal pressures, however, have constituted only 22 percent of the total pressures.

It was evident from the findings that almost 55 percent of managers feel nervous, sometimes, as a result of the pressures being faced.
