Abstract

The Tanzania Institute of Education employees' performance was evaluated in this study in relation to workplace stress. Three goals served as the study's compass: evaluating the effects of a high workload, time constraints, and role ambiguity on Tanzania Institute of Education employees' job performance. The quantitative method and positivist philosophy served as the study's pillars. In order to clarify the research problem, the study also employed an explanatory research approach. A practical sampling approach was used to select 196 employees of the Tanzania Institute of Education, yielding a sample size of 132 responses. Utilizing a questionnaire survey, data was gathered. Descriptive analysis methods were used to analyze the data. To offer results for the study, multiple linear regression analysis and correlation were carried out. The results of this study demonstrate that workloads significantly improve workers' ability to do their jobs. The regression analysis of heavy demonstrates that time constraints, role uncertainty, and high workloads all significantly improve employee job performance. According to the study, companies should balance workloads to capitalize on the positive aspects of workplace stress. They should also support appropriate stress management by offering flexible work schedules, facilitating employee meetings and discussion boards, and encouraging proper stress management. Keywords: Role ambiguity, heavy workload, employee job performance, workplace stress, and time constraints
