The variables in this study were age, marital status, income, years of service and work load, with the dependent variable being work stress. The research data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis and chi-square statistical calculations. Presentation of data is made in table and narrative form. Result: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between age and work stress with p value = 0.031, there was a significant relationship between tenure and work stress with a value of p = 0.004, there was a significant relationship between workload and work stress with p = 0.003, there is no significant relationship between marital status and work stress with a value of p = 0.077 and there is no significant relationship between income and work stress with a value of p = 0.473. The result of multivariate analysis showed that workload (p = 0.002; OR = 21.667) was the most dominant factor affecting work stress on the employees of the Eye Hospital of North Sulawesi Province.
