Abstract
This study examined the effects of organisational stressors on work stress. The organisational variables are mainly role conflict, blocked career, alienation, work overload and unfavorable work environment. This study also investigated whether the locus of control both internal and external as well as gender moderate the relationship between the organisational stressors and work stress. The sample population of this study was the civil servants from randomly selected Sabah state government ministries and agencies in Kota Kinabalu. Analysis of 134 respondents revealed that only blocked career, alienation and unfavorable work environment have a significant positive relationship on work stress. In general, this study found out that the work stress level among the government employees is marginally low. Further analysis also found out that the locus of control and gender did not moderate on the relationship between the organisational stressors and work stress. The findings, implications for managerial practice and future research are being discussed.
