<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the effect of perceived stress on workload, mediated by employee self-efficacy, within a forestry company. A quantitative approach with a causal research design was employed. The sample consisted of 148 Forest Management Technical Personnel (GANISPH) from PT Arara Abadi. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed via the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method using WarpPLS 8.0. The results indicate that perceived stress has a positive and significant effect on workload (β=0.26; p<0.01), whereas it has a negative and significant effect on self-efficacy (β=-0.18; p<0.01). Self-efficacy was found to have a negative and significant effect on workload (β=-0.27; p<0.01). Furthermore, self-efficacy was shown to partially mediate the effect of perceived stress on workload. These findings suggest that increased perceived stress can heighten the perception of workload, while self-efficacy acts as a personal resource that helps employees manage job demands. This study reinforces the perspectives of the Job Demands-Resources Model and Social Cognitive Theory in explaining the relationships between stress, self-efficacy, and workload within the forestry sector.
