    (Federal University of Technology, Owerri, 2024-05) Enamuotor, Russell
    The study investigated the relationship between work stress, information technology, and employee performance of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Imo State Nigeria. The study used a correlational survey design and questionnaire as instruments for data collection using a five-point Likert scale. The total population was 342 (Three Hundred and Forty-Two) permanent and ad hoc personnel. The sample size of 184 was obtained using the Taro Yamane formula. Bowley’s allocation formula was used in the distribution of the questionnaire using simple random sampling techniques. Research hypothesis one was tested using a bivariate correlation method with the use of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Research hypotheses two, three, and four were tested and analysed statistically using a simple regression method, Analysis of Variance. The findings of research hypothesis one found that there is a strong (positive) correlation between work content and employee engagement. The findings of research hypothesis two showed that the virtual work environment contributes significantly to employee satisfaction. Findings of research hypothesis three found that personal factors significantly influence employee commitment. The findings of research hypothesis four showed that workplace quality significantly influences employee motivation. It was recommended that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Imo State should conduct regular surveys and feedback sessions with employees to better understand their perception of work content and its impact on their engagement. It was further recommended that INEC should create a culture where employees feel valued and appreciated to reduce employee burnout. INEC is advised to create less work-related stress and more productive employees by having strong onboarding processes and encouraging employees to take time off to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
