To Study the Impact of Job Stress on Employee Performance: A Case Study of Government Project, Pakistan Kidney & Liver Institute (PKLI)

Abstract

The subject research study encompasses the concept of job stress in the perspective of employee performance in a public sector organization. The main purpose of the inquiry is to examine the impact of job stress on employee performance of Pakistan Kidney & Liver Institute (PKLI) employees. A quantitative approach has been adopted to measure the impact of job stress on employees’ performance. Employees’ performance is the dependant variable and the work stress generators like Time pressure, Work load, Role ambiguity and Lack of motivation have been used as Independent variables. A sample of 95 employees has been collected through convenience sampling technique. For analysis correlation and regression have been used to find the association of job stress on employees’ performance. The findings indicate that time pressure and role ambiguity increase work stress in employees thereby affects the employees’ performance. However, lack of motivation and work load have no effect on the employees performance. The study will be helpful for PKLI management to understand the causes of work stress among employees and strategies could be developed to mitigate the work stress
