Work stress and uncivil behaviors have their side effects socially, physically, and mentally on employees and thus hinders the performance and growth of the individual and the organization as a whole. Nevertheless, over the past years, there have been numerous theoretical and practical studies devoted to stress reduction and how it affects job performance and turnover intention. The present study ob-jective is to examine the influence of job stress on employee job per-formance and turnover intention in the Ghanaian hospitality industry. We tested the research hypothesis using a total of 367 working adults and completed the questionnaire on the level of job stress impact on workplace incivility, job performance, and turnover intention. Results indicated that emotional exhaustion (EE) was found to have a positive significant relationship to job performance (JP). Job Stress (JS) was found to have a significant negative relationship to job performance but a positive relationship to turnover intention and workplace incivility. Al-so, the relationship between workplace incivility (WI) and Turnover In-tention (TI) has shown to be positive and significant whiles workplace incivility did not have any significant relationship with job performance. Managers should set informal standards for ideal workplace behaviors and encourage employees to choose ways to cope with work stress to improve job performance. This study provides novel insights for job stress and developing effective employee strategies in curtailing work-place incivility and turnover intention.

Employees are social beings who have their own backgrounds, personalities and ways of thinking. Employees also often have different ways of dealing with problems, including in terms of handling stress so that the company cannot predict the employee's attitude. Poor relations between employees and the company can also be an indication of the behavior of employees who move from one company to another. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between psychological contracts and work stress with turnover intention. The sample of this study was 274 employees of the sales department of retail companies in Purwokerto. Data were collected using a psychological contract scale, job stress scale, and turnover intention questionnaire. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between psychological contracts with turnover intention (β = -0.276, t = 3.562, p = 0.000). The relationship between job stress and turnover intention also showed a significant relationship (β = 0.213, t = 3.778, p = 0.000).

Introduction: Coronavirus is an infection disease with respiratory symptoms and it is a virus that can be transmitted between humans as a mutated virus. Coronavirus-19 disease can lead to stress and anxiety among hospital staff. At present, one of the most important factors affected the occupational performance of the treatment staff and their ability to perform the overshadowed tasks effectively is Covid-19 disease. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the relationship between job stress and job performance of nurses in the covid-19 epidemic from the perspective of nurses in Zahedan teaching hospitals in 2021. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed by available sampling method. Data were obtained using forms collected during three months in the inpatient ward of covid-19 in Zahedan teaching hospitals. The research samples were 235 nurses working in different wards of the hospital participated in this study and answered the three-part questionnaire containing demographic and job information, stress resulted by covid-19 and job performance. The collected data were statistically analyzed using SPSS software, version 20. There were used the descriptive and analytical statistics including frequency, mean, standard deviation and t test. Results: Most of the participants in this study were women (68%) under the age of 30 (59.4%). There is a significant relationship between the effect of Covid-19 on job stress and job performance. Thus, the effect of Covid-19 on job stress is direct, i.e. with the greater effect of Covid-19, the amount of stress increases by 39% ) p = 0.00, r = 0.39(. The effect of Covid-19 on the job performance was inversely so that with increasing the effect of Covid-19, job performance decreased by -20% (-r= 0.20, p=0.01). The findings showed there is a significant relationship between stress resulted by Covid-19 and the job performance. Discussion: The level of stress in nurses working in Covid-19-related wards in Zahedan teaching hospitals is moderate. It seems that paying attention to nurses' education to deal with critical situations similar to Covid-19 and increasing personal protective equipment can be effective in preventing nurses from developing stress and anxiety, and then their job performance will be improved.

The sample in this study were 86 employees who were determined using the saturation sampling method. The analysis technique used is descriptive analysis and Smart PLS. The results show that work stress has  positive significant effect on turnover intention. Job satisfaction has a negative and significant effect on turnover intention.  If job satisfaction is high then the employee job stress is certain to be getting lower and thus the employee's desire to leave the company is lower. Llow level of job satisfaction and high employee stress, so this also results in an increased level of turnover intention. Keywords : Job Stress, Job Satisfaction, Employee Turnover Intention
