The quantitative with a cross-sectional study design was conducted in this research. The research was conducted on 80 workers using simple random sampling techniques. Variables were measured using the NIOSH Generic Job Stress Questionnaire. Data were analyzed through univariate, bivariate and multivariate approaches using the chi-square test and linear regression test. The study found that there was a significant relationship between the marital status (p=0.009), work period (p=0.015), role conflict (p=0.021), and interpersonal conflict (p=0.002) on work stress in workers. The study results also show that interpersonal conflict is the factor that has the most influence on work stress (estimate=0.64, p=0.049). The findings of this study support the importance of stress management programs implemented in the workplace by paying attention to the factors that influence it.
