Abstract:

This quantitative study identified the factors of work-related stress and their effects the job performance of the employees. Fifty employees of Company ABC including production operator, machine operator, coating technician, press technician, paint supervisor, electro technician, line technician, laboratory technician, supervisor, process technician and forklift operator were surveyed. The 15 items questionnaire assessed demand at work, relationship at workplace, and working environment. Data from the survey indicated that under the demand of work in Company ABC, the employees’ performance evaluation was low. Results on the relationship with the co-employees and on the working environment, however, showed no effect on the employees’ performance. It means that the demand of work is what mostly caused the low performance of the employees in Company ABC. Noted also in the study was that loyalty received the highest rating among all factors of work-related stress. The researchers, therefore, recommended to Company ABC to focus on the demand of work. The company must create program and review their policies to lessen the causes of stress among employees in order to increase their productivity and job performance.
