The worldwide downturn in the oil and gas industry has had a remarkable effect on the Middle East market, and the layoff rate in the oil and gas industry has enhanced significantly.

Employees' primary worry is job security. The concept of security is critical for the employee's serenity in their future profession and for the decrease of all worry forms connected with that future. This lack of work stability and anxiety eventually leads employees to seek ways to escape those feelings and their severe physical and psychological health consequences.
