<![CDATA[Work stress is an important occupational health issue because it can affect employee well-being, productivity, and organizational performance. It may arise from individual characteristics and job-related conditions, including age, workload, individual role, number of children, and career development. This study aimed to identify factors associated with work stress among workers at PT. X. An analytic descriptive study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among all PT. X employees, excluding managers and directors. A total of 70 workers were included using total sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using univariate analysis and the chi-square test. The results showed that 13 respondents (18.6%) experienced high work stress and 57 respondents (81.4%) experienced mild work stress. Most respondents were younger than 40 years (70.0%), had a high workload (62.9%), had an active individual role (82.9%), had two or more children (70.0%), and had good career development (60.0%). Age, workload, individual role, and number of children were not significantly associated with work stress, whereas career development was significantly associated with work stress (p = 0.001). Career development was therefore an important factor associated with work stress. Companies should strengthen career development systems, communication, and supportive working conditions]]>
