,2000, and Mosadeghrad, 2013). Many researchers have different perspectiveson work stress, which, according to Kazmi et al.,2008 and Chia Kang Wai et al.,2013) defined work stress as a change in one’s physical or mental state whichmay positively or negatively affect employees’ job performance, where stress iscaused by disturbed events in the work environment.

The job itself, including duties, responsibilities, heavy workload,variations in workload, role ambiguity and role conflict can be a source ofstress for employees (McGowan, 2001; Michie and Williams, 2003; and Robinson etal.,2003)Moreover, employee job performance was reliant on thewillingness and openness of the personnel itself in performing their job. Employee performance also defined as a measureof the quality of human capital, which is held by the organization (Bonsu , 2014) According to Sinha (2001),The researcher also stated that employee’s performance and productivity canincrease by having this willingness and openness of the employees in doingtheir job. An employee’s performance canalso be defined as a person’s ability to perform with the opportunity andreadiness to perform as well.
