The scientific researchers in aerospace fields are experiencing serious job stress due to the importance and special features of their work. This reseach aims to find out the solutions of impoving job performance by analyzing the relationship between job stress and job performance, which will in turn improve organizational productivity.The study focuses on the scientific researchers in aerospace fields to examine the relationship between job stress and job performance.First of all, the levels of job stress and job performance are measured by questionnaires. Through factor analysis, a program of SPSS software, it is found that job stress originates from five aspects: "work environment", " role in the job", "organizational and office politics", "'compensation and promotion" and "work time".
