Human Resources have been identified by many authorities as the most important asset of any organization. This is because they are the users of the rest of the resources in the organization.

Findings revealed a positive and significant relationship between performance appraisal, training and development, career management and work-related stress. Based on the findings, it is concluded that human resource variables have significant influence on work related stress in Nigerian banking industry. To this effect, the study recommended that Bank Management should provide balance scorecard approach to employees’ performance, thus promoting employees when due; Continue to train employees in groups and through computer-based learning in order to stay at the forefront of one’s profession and Bank Management should continue to hire employees who are suited, new competencies and skilful for the job.
