Abstract: The triad of stress, work and society explains a multi-dimensionality which Osipow’s scale-occupational stress inventory-revised emphatically buttresses. The underlying effect of this tri-directional phenomenon is what has been investigated in bringing out the social aspects of stress in social neglect and interpersonal strain whilst also placing them against employee’s performance in the public work space. Methodology subscribed to for establishing relationship amongst the study variables was basically the Karl Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient (KPMCC) having established validity and scale reliabilities. The results showed that a negative significant relationship exists between interpersonal strain and employee’s performance while social neglect had an insignificant relationship with the performance levels of employees. The implication here explains the traditional stress modes as described in the work which exclude social dimensions and focuses more on the physical, mental, emotional effects of stress.
