This research work focuses on the effect of stress on employees' performance in Nigeria Polytechnic, a case study of Federal Polytechnic Ile-Oluji, Ondo State. The objective of this study is to assess the effects of three sources of job stress which were identified and they include organizational factors, Personality and Work/Family interaction. The investigation was carried out with the use of questionnaire to gather information. A number of one hundred and seventy one (171) questionnaires were distributed but only one hundred and fifty fout (154) was collected and analyzed. The study revealed that job stress generally negatively affects the performance of employees in the institution. Findings showed that each of the sources negatively affect employee performance. This underscores the need for organizations; especially Nigeria Polytechnics to create a relatively stress-free environment to enable the employees perform optimally in their assigned tasks. It study recommended that employers should endeavor to assign tasks that employees' capabilities can cope with so that stress that associates with work overload does not arise. There is need to always state the task that the employee is expected to do to avoid role conflict which lowers performance.
