Today's building sector faces numerous problems and threats. If the worker is constantly confronted with new challenges, it will lead to stress. Workplace stress will influence people regardless of their occupation. This study has three goals: to identify the stress that a quantity surveyor confronts, to identify the fundamental stressors that produce job stress and their consequences on performance, and to discover how a quantity surveyor overcomes job stress. To reach the research's intended audience, the questionnaire was sent to the consultant's offices in Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, and Damansara. There have been 125 questionnaire sets returned and analysed. It has been discovered that the primary sources of stress faced by workers include a healthy problem, inability to focus in their work or daily life, and oversensitivity. Furthermore, the effect on job productivity is that many mistakes are made, work cannot be done on time, the objective becomes unattainable, and the actual liability is unclear. Employees who manage their time well, exercise regularly, and think positively can effectively manage their stress. Furthermore, a corporation can provide additional incentives, company excursions, and special rewards or gifts to incentivize its employees. This study includes some advice such as the government should give tougher rules to safeguard employees, employees must control their stress to minimize those consequences, and the corporation can provide more profit to inspire its employees. To summarize, not only can the employee take steps to alleviate stress, but our government and company should also exercise prudence and collaborate to address this issue.
