In the current world, stress has been regarded as a global phenomenon that occurs in different forms in various workplaces. The study sought to determine the effects of stress on the performance of employees in the Jamsai firm in Bangkok, Thailand. The study was literature based. The study findings revealed that stress influences worker performance if not managed properly. The productivity and performance of workers are significant and essential elements for the success of any firm. The extreme stress encountered in the working places substantially hampers effectiveness and draws many employees' focuses. The study discovered that a firm or supervisor should correctly manage stress levels to get work done properly. In some instances, job stress makes employees more prone to error, poor work performance, mental health issues, burnout, and conflict in the workplace. If job stress goes unaddressed, organizations pay the price in higher rates of turnover, disengagement, and absenteeism. To attain an organizational goal, all the aspects that affect stress ought to be appropriately identified and measured. The study concluded that stress has a negative effect on the performance of employees. There are numerous stress elements that the workers have gone through, and the research confirmed that stress influences performance adversely. The study recommended that a good framework should be put in place to assist workers in minimizing stress while they are at work. The management needs to evaluate the state of mind by analyzing why the workers assume the firm does not appreciate its workers and what they can do to change the elements which bring about the discontentment of workers in the workplace. A worker assistance program needs to be introduced to identify and intervene early on challenges affecting employees' performance in a firm.
