WORKPLACE STRESSORS AND EMPLOYEE JOB PERFORMANCE: A REVIEW OF LITERATURE

The relationship between various workplace stressors and their effects on employee productivity, work quality, and organizational effectiveness was examined in this research. Insights into the mechanisms by which stressors may deplete individual resources and hinder performance are provided by the theoretical framework research that underpins this work, the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping and the Social Exchange Theory. The systematic review of workplace stressors and conceptual analyses used in this research looked at how specific workplace stressors, such excessive workload, interpersonal conflicts, and organizational limits, affected employee performance. The holistic nature of workplace stressors and their consequences was made possible by this method. Long-term exposure to workplace stressors may negatively impact employee job performance, according to the reviewed literature's findings, which are consistently consistent. Reduced productivity, increased absenteeism, diminished organizational commitment, and diminished job satisfaction have all been linked to high levels of stress. Therefore, promoting a healthy and productive workforce requires addressing and mitigating workplace stressors. Based on the research findings, it was recommended that organizations implement strategies for work-life balance, stress management programs, encouraging open communication and conflict resolution, and cultivating a supportive organizational culture.
