There is an enpirical knowledge gap in Sri Lankan context on the irnpact ofjob shess on job
performance of operational level e,mplo-vees in electrical rnanufacturing companies. This
study aimed to investigate the impact of job skess on.job performance among operational
level ernployees of two selected electrical manufacturirg companies in Colombo district. The
data were collected &om a randorrrtry seXected sample of 108 operational level employees of
two selected electrical manufacturing companies located in Colcrnbo district by
adnainistering a structured questionnaire, which consisted of'38 questionsl statements with 5
point scale. The data analysi.s included the rinivariate and bivariate analyses. "fhis study found
that there is a strong positive relationship between workload and job performance and there is
a weak negative reiationship between role conflict and role ambiguity with the job
performance among operational level employees of the two selected eleckical manufacfuriag
companies. It is concluded that the worktroad is positiveiy associated with job performance
while role conflict and rotre ambiguif are negatively associated with the job perfomrance
among operational level enrpioyees of two setrected eleckical manufacturing companies in
Colombo district, Sri Lanka. Thus, job performaaee of employee is significantly based on the
job stress. Hence, it can be concluded that job stress is a major factor which can affect the job
perforrnance of the all operational level employ€es in the electrical manufacturing industy
and the management of the eleckical rnariufacturing cornpanies has to consider to minimize
&e job stress of the operational level workem introducing appropriate strategies.
