Abstract

Employee performance is a critical factor in achieving organizational goals and
sustaining competitive advantage. This study investigates the influence of job
stress and work environment on employee performance at PT. Rahayu Permai.
Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected through structured
questionnaires distributed to employees and analyzed using multiple linear
regression techniques. The results indicate that job stress has a negative and
significant effect on employee performance, while the work environment exerts
a positive and significant influence. These findings highlight the importance of
organizational efforts to minimize work-related stress and improve workplace
conditions in order to enhance employee productivity and overall performance
