摘要：Stress is one of the common challenges the employees may face or experience when they work anywhere in the world. The issue regarding work-related stress is one of the serious problems that are faced by workers in Malaysia. Besides, the demands of the contemporary work environment stress are common at the workplace. However, the physical and mental wellbeing of the employees can be jeopardized if the job stress is still uncontrollable. There are several factors of job stress, such as work overload, role conflict, role ambiguity, and work-family conflict. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the antecedents of job stress and job stress. A total of 113 manufacturing employees were surveyed through a self-administered questionnaire. The analysis revealed only three (3) predictors of job stress, namely work overload, role conflict, and role ambiguity were positive and significantly influenced job stress. Only the predictor of work-family conflict has no significant relationship with job stress. As role conflict is the most significant factor to job stress, it further proposed that it is essential for organizations to explain clearly to the employees their job role, job responsibilities, organization policies, and guidelines, organization expectations to help them to set a clear objective to contribute to the organizational success. Further, the manager needs to pay more attention to care about the amount of work given to reduce work-related stress and they must provide clear instructions to their subordinates about the tasks, duties, and responsibilities granted to the employees.
