sector of economy are going through a great deal of job stress resulting in
deteriorating employee performance, thus affecting the employees themselves,
their families and the organizations. Bankers are under a great deal of stress
due to many antecedents of stress. One of the affected outcomes of stress is on
job performance. As the main objective of this study it examines the
relationship between job stress and job performance of executives in
commercial banks in Colombo district (Sri Lanka). This study includes one
independent variable (Job Stress), one dependent variable (Job Performance)
and a moderating variable (Demographic Factors). Survey method was used

performance of executive employees. Findings revealed that executives are
suffering from low level of stress and moderate level of job performance.This
