online questionnaires. Chi square was used for bivariate data analysis and multiple logistic regression
for multivariate data analysis.
From the results of bivariate data analysis, it was found that work stress had an effect on productivity
with a value of p = 0.001 (<0.05). For the analysis of work stress based on age, it affected older workers
with a value of p = 0.004, while based on gender, it affected the female workers with a value of p =
0.001, based on years service, it had effect on long service years with a value of p = 0.018 and based
on sleep quality, it affected on poor sleep quality with a value of p = 0.003. The results of multivariate
analysis showed that work stress affected the productivity with a value of p = 0.001 (p <0.05) with
