A quantitative research approach and a descriptive research design were employed. A sample size of 137 from 167 populations size with a 0.05 margin of error and a 1.96 t-statistic was used. Closed-ended questions made up the questionnaire and descriptive statistics, such as frequencies and percentages, were employed in the analysis for objectives one and two. Analysis for objective three was conducted using linear regression. The study discovered that stress management interventions are used as a training tool to teach workers how to identify the signs of stress and other mental health disorders at work. Additionally, it was discovered that employees perform well as a result of the interventions in place. Once more, the study discovered a moderately favorable significant association between stress management interventions and employee performance. In light of these findings, it was concluded that preventive stress management interventions are important concepts to consider in academia because they can increase the performance of workers. It was recommended that the management of the University of Cape Coast put in more effort in their management of stress in order to obtain a high level of employee performance.
