Abstract

This paper is about gaining a better understanding of what types of situations cause stress in health care providers and how that stress affects job performance. The five key independent variables are workload, procedural injustice, role stress, work-family conflict, and physical environment. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between the job stressor such as workload, procedural injustice, role ambiguity, work-family conflict, and physical environment towards job performance.
