This chapter examines the effects of occupational stress on
performance. An institutional-based survey was conducted among the hospital
staff on occupational stress at the Bekwai Municipal Hospital in Ghana. The
chapter made use of descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients
and multiple linear regression to aid the analysis from the responses of the
hospital staff. The result shows role ambiguity as the strongest predictor of
the stress of task control. Coping with stress was dependent on support and
advice from others and a medium for staff to air their views. Reduced
productivity was the major effect of work-related stress on performance. The
chapter concludes that the awareness of stressors and coping strategies can be
considered to enhance staff performance through a practical alignment of job
demands and resources to enhance staff well-being.
