Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of job stress on employee performance, including nature of stress, types of stress, and work stress that eventually influence employee performance and effectiveness. Despite huge investments in employee performance, organisations in Nigeria have not realized the causes of job stress. Few studies have been conducted to address the problem. The main objective of this research is to find out the effect job stress has on the performance of employees. Job stress can affect employee performance by when stress is not handled well, absenteeism, turnover and medical compensation increase and productivity decreases. To achieve a peak of performance, stress should be managed effectively, with the negative effects of stress minimized. The fact that the majority of the employees thought of leaving their job and felt that the organization did not care about them was a reflection of huge dissatisfaction that undoubtedly lowered performance. The organization must conduct a needs assessment for an Employee Assistance Programme. An Employee Assistance Programme has to be introduced for early identification and intervention on problems so that performance levels will increase.
