Stress is caused due to pressure or limitations in work which could lead to
professional exhaustion. Job stress has affected the health of human being who worked, especially in
construction oriented organizations. This paper evaluated the impact of job stress during planning and
execution phases of Project Life Cycle (PLC) on job performance and employee turnover. Path model
was used to evaluate the impact of job stress on job performance and employee retention. Regression
test was used to fulfil the hypothesis. This research work concluded that there was a moderate stress at
planning level and high stress at execution phase of PLC. Thus, stress at execution stage posed
significant effect on employee turnover and also on work performance during execution phase of the
project. Outcome of present study is going to be very helpful at all levels of project management with
regards to detection of stress and also carry suitable actions to overcome the matter with peculiar
circumstances
