Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction: Job stress is a central issue in organizational psychology, due to its high prevalence among workers and its negative impact on performance, mood, and physical health. Objective: To identify the evolution of international scientific production and the impact of stress on job performance from a health sciences perspective. Methods: A bibliometric analysis of 1724 studies published in the Scopus database was carried out using the VOSviewer tool. Subsequently, a systematic literature review was conducted, following the PRISMA methodology, which included 24 studies that met the established inclusion criteria. Results: The results showed a growing interest in research on the impact of stress on work performance, although scientific production decreased between 2023 and 2024. In terms of subject distribution, 34.9% of the studies were published in medical journals, followed by 11.4% in psychology. In addition, 79.9% of the articles reviewed were scientific articles. Conclusion: The findings indicated that stress significantly impacts job performance, particularly in health-related professions, and is linked to organisational problems, increased workload, and inflexible schedules.
