The performance of employees, es-pecially of foreign origin, faces a series of challenges after performance coupled with high degrees of psychological violence. There are signals that employee stress and violence make one think that psychological violence could be responsible for the poor performance of employees. hence the study on psychological violence and per-formance of foreign employees in Istanbul’s private sector. the current state of em-ployee performance both local and foreign employees might threaten the existence of private organizations in Istanbul Turkey due to poor performance of the organi-zation in terms of profits, sales, and the number of productions.

The study targeted 100 foreign employees of private companies in Istanbul, a questionnaire survey was used for data collection. the results achieved from the research show that the increase in psychological violence has a great effect on the quality of employee service quality and employee creativity.
