The study was conducted to examine workplace stress based on delayed promotion and workplace welfare packages. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey. Workers from Federal, state, and private sectors were drawn from ministries, agencies, and departments as the research participants. The participants included a total of one hundred and thirty-eight (138) workers comprising male and female. A self-developed scale was used for data collection. The findings revealed that delayed promotion in the workplace does not necessarily predict workplace stress.On the other hand, the result also found that workplace welfare packages significantly predicted job stress. The current study concludes that workers observed non-promotion in work is not a contributory factor in job stress among workers. However, workplace welfare packages are implicated in job stress. Therefore, the study recommends that functional workplace welfare packages be established in the workplace.
