Abstract

Stress is widely recognized as a significant factor that detrimentally affects employee performance and commitment. It arises from the imbalance between environmental demands and individual capabilities. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of stress management on employee performance within the Police Force in Dodoma. The research utilized both qualitative and quantitative approaches, with a sample size of 35 respondents from the police force office in Dodoma who completed questionnaires and participated in interviews. Primary data was collected through structured questionnaires, while secondary data was obtained through document analysis. The collected data was analyzed and presented using the SPSS program, employing descriptive analysis. A study was conducted to examine the impact of stress management on employee performance. The findings revealed that stress management plays a crucial role in enhancing employee performance. The study also found a positive association between psychological support, workplace training and development, employee welfare programs, job redesign, and employee performance. Based on these results, the study concludes that workplace quality and flexible work scheduling are important factors contributing to employee performance. The study recommends that the Tanzania Police Force in Dodoma should prioritize psychological support programs like counseling and mentorship, investing in comprehensive training for technical skills and leadership development, conducting stress management workshops, implementing employee welfare programs, tailoring training programs to individual needs, and introducing flexible work arrangements and recognition initiatives to enhance performance.
