Saul apparently was afraid of the people

When asked why he had not obeyed Jehovah's voice (or as some prefer YAHWEH) (God) , Saul disclaimed guilt and shifted the blame onto the people. Only after Samuel emphasized the serious nature of the sin and said that, because of it, Jehovah (God) was rejecting him as king did Saul acknowledge that his error was the result of his fearing the people

According to First Samuel 15:26, Saul's punishment for not killing all the Amalekites was the loss of Samuel's support and more importantly, God would take the kingdom of Israel from him and give it to another

"And Samuel said to Saul 'Thus spoke the Lord of hosts....go and smite Amalek'....And Saul smote the Amalekites....But they spared Agag (the Amelekite king), and the best of the sheep....Then came the word of the Lord unto Samuel, saying: 'I have had a change of heart that I made Saul to be king'....Then Samuel said unto Saul....'because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He has also rejected you from being king.' " After this happened, Samuel was commanded by God to anoint David as king.

(Abbreviated from 1 Samuel ch.15.)
