This study aims to identify and analyze the effect of work stress on employee performance amid the ongoing digital transformation at PTPN IV Marjandi Plantation Unit. This study uses a descriptive approach with quantitative methods supported by qualitative data, involving 34 personnel department employees as respondents. Data were obtained through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using validity, reliability, normality, and multiple linear regression tests. The results show that work stress has a negative and significant effect on employee performance. The main sources of stress are excessive workloads, demands for work outside of working hours, and an unsupportive work environment. In the digital transformation process, additional pressure arises from the need to adapt to new systems and technologies. These findings emphasize the importance of implementing effective stress management strategies through supportive leadership, technology-based training, and work-life balance policies to maintain optimal employee performance.
