This quantitative study investigates the influence of occupational stress and working conditions on employee performance within a hospital setting. Utilizing a sample of 60 employees selected through simple random sampling, data were collected via Likert scale questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that both occupational stress and working conditions simultaneously and significantly affect employee performance. Specifically, occupational stress (X1) demonstrates a significant negative effect on performance (p-value = 0.000 < 0.05), indicating that increased stress levels are associated with diminished employee output. Conversely, working conditions (X2) exhibit a significant positive effect on performance (p-value = 0.000 < 0.05), suggesting that a supportive work environment—characterized by adequate facilities, harmonious relationships, and a comfortable atmosphere—enhances productivity and work quality. These results underscore the critical need for healthcare management to implement policies that effectively mitigate stress and enhance working conditions to foster optimal and sustainable employee performance. This study reinforces existing literature highlighting that unmanaged work stress impairs concentration and motivation, while a conducive work environment promotes comfort and efficiency.
