respondents in tenns of gender, age, marital status, level of education, position in the
organization, length of service, (ii) to determine the extent of work stress among KIU

level of work stress at mean "'2 (low level). On the other hand the level of staff
performance in stands at a mean "'3 (high level). The findings from PLCC showed a
positive relationship between work stress and staff perfonnance at (r = 0.000), however,
the sig. value indicate that though positive, this relationship is not significant (sig. =
0.995 > 0.05). The researcher concluded that there is low work stress in KIU, Staff
perfo1mance is high, and that there is no significant relationship between work stress and
staff performance in KIU ((r = 0.000, and sig. = 0.995). The researcher recommended
