the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).The study findings indicate that
employer related factors significantly affects job performance among public primary
school teachers in the Sub-County (β =0.094, p = 0.042). Personal related factors were
also found to have a significant effect on the job related occupational stress factors (β
=0.166, p=0.018). Finally the study found that all independent variables are fitted in a
multiple linear regression model they can explain change in job performance by up to
81% The major conclusion from the findings is that occupational stress factors

TSC should develop a policy on stress management; there is a need to provide proper
conducive environment and support to teachers to maintain individual occupational stress
