The aims of study to examine the relationship between job demands, job resources and job stress among staff in nursing home. The data collected from staffs that work in Malaysian private nursing home including nurses, medical attendance and caregivers. The data has been analyzed through descriptive statistic, correlation analysis and linear regression. The results revealed that there is a negative relationship between job resources and job stress and there is a positive relationship between job demand and job stress. Increase in job demands will affect employees’ mental and physical and it leads to health problems as well as exhaustion of energy.
