Work-related stress is a significant factor affecting the productivity of healthcare workers. Previous research has demonstrated that dimensions such as job dissatisfaction, emotional exhaustion, and lack of motivation negatively impact job performance. Objective This study aimed to analyze the relationship between work stress and productivity among healthcare workers in a health facility in Peru during 2023. Materials and methods A quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational design was employed with a sample of 78 workers. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire assessing work stress dimensions and productivity. Multivariate statistical techniques, including principal component analysis (PCA) and Spearman correlation, were applied for data analysis. The results Indicated that the main component of work stress explained 58.7% of the total variance and was inversely related to productivity (ρ = -0.089, p < 0.05). Individual dimensions of dissatisfaction, emotional exhaustion, and lack of motivation showed weak and mostly non-significant negative correlations with productivity. It is concluded that global work stress negatively influences productivity, although the association is weak, suggesting the need to implement intervention strategies aimed at improving occupational well-being and healthcare workers’ performance.
