Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of employee mental health on job performance among 303 staff members (129 males, 174 females) at the Department of Education of Terengganu State. Mental health was measured using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), while job performance was assessed with the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ). Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation were applied. Findings revealed most employees had normal mental health, with the highest performance in task performance and the lowest in counterproductive behavior. However, mental health showed no significant impact on job performance (p > .05). This study contributes to organizational psychology by highlighting the need for preventive mental health support in sustaining employee well-being and performance.
