摘要：This study was conducted to investigate whether excessive workload factor, poor work environment factor, lack of social support factor and shortage of manpower factor will influence work stress among nurses at KPJ Johor Specialist Hospital. In this study, the questionnaire used is adopted from Fitzgibbon (2016), Beh and Loo (2012) and Konstantinos and Christina (2008). The questionnaires were distributed to 80 nurses from Women and Baby Centre Ward and General Ward at KPJ Johor Specialist Hospital by using the convenience sampling technique. The software used to analyse the collected data is SPSS. By using correlation analysis, it is found that there is significance and positive correlation between work stress and the four factors. From the correlation analysis, excessive workload factor (r = 0.553) and shortage of manpower factor (0.564) were the strongest positively related to work stress among KPJ nurses. The multiple regression analysis also used in this study revealed that the four factors are significant in explaining the dependent variable; working stress (F = 11.877, p < 0.05).
