Abstract

This chapter examines the effects of occupational stress on performance. An institutional-based survey was conducted among the hospital staff on occupational stress at the Bekwai Municipal Hospital in Ghana. The chapter made use of descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression to aid the analysis from the responses of the hospital staff. The result shows role ambiguity as the strongest predictor of the stress of task control. Coping with stress was dependent on support and advice from others and a medium for staff to air their views. Reduced productivity was the major effect of work-related stress on performance. The chapter concludes that the awareness of stressors and coping strategies can be considered to enhance staff performance through a practical alignment of job demands and resources to enhance staff well-being.
