Two research questions and four hypotheses were formulated to investigate the issues. A corroborated instrument was constituted to the contributors. The survey method was utilized and collected data were analyzed by chi square-test. The results exposed that greater number of primary school teachers were strained on the job which had negative influences on their performance. According to the results, deficiency of job contentment, hindrance in payment of salary and insufficient facilities, were key causes of stress amongst them. It was also judged that job stress had negative impressions on their performance. Besides this, democratic style of headship was more contented than an autocratic style. There was a substantial variance as female teachers were more gratified with their work than males. Age, class level, marital status and qualification had no significant effect on job performance.
