There has been heightened concern concerning stress-related challenges which had given rise to operational backwardness within the manufacturing companies in Nigeria, it is in the light of that that this study seeks to establish an empirical link between Job stress and organizational growth with the sole aim of bridging the gap of the discrepancies. The analysis revealed a strong and significant relationship between both variables.
