<![CDATA[This study aimed to examine the effect of job stress on aggressive driving among online motorcycle taxi drivers in Medan City, Indonesia. Increasing work demands, competition for ride requests, income uncertainty, and pressure from app-based performance systems are potential sources of job stress that may contribute to risky driving behavior. This research employed a quantitative approach with an associative research design. A total of 275 active online motorcycle taxi drivers were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using validated and reliable Job Stress and Aggressive Driving scales and were analyzed through simple linear regression using SPSS software. The findings revealed that job stress had a positive and significant effect on aggressive driving (p < 0.001), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.814. This result indicates that 81.4% of the variance in aggressive driving can be explained by job stress, while the remaining 18.6% is attributable to other factors beyond the scope of this study. Descriptively, most respondents exhibited moderate levels of job stress and aggressive driving, although risky driving behaviors, such as running red lights and exceeding speed limits, were still observed. These findings highlight the importance of effective job stress management in reducing aggressive driving and promoting safer driving practices among online motorcycle taxi drivers in Medan City.]]>
