Job stress is a growing concern in today's workplaces and has been linked to negative mental and physical health outcomes. In this systematic literature review, we aim to examine recent research on the impact of job stress on mental and physical health outcomes. Findings from literature analysis indicate that job stress is consistently associated with negative mental health outcomes such as depression, anxiety, and burnout. Furthermore, job stress is associated with various physical health outcomes, such as cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and gastrointestinal disorders. From there, we developed the hypotheses for the study. This study could utilize a cross-sectional or longitudinal research design, depending on the research objectives and data availability later. Data collection could involve a combination of questionnaires, physiological measures, and biomarkers to collect data on job stress and mental and physical health outcomes. Various statistical techniques could be used to explore the relationships between job stress, mental and physical health outcomes, and potential moderating and mediating variables. Overall, the findings of this research can provide valuable insights into the harmful impact of job stress on mental and physical health and can inform the development of interventions and policies to promote employee well-being and reduce the negative effects of job stress.
