Stress has been a hot topic to discuss since several years ago. Stress triggered a negative behaviour from employees. In a long term, stress would decrease the whole organizational performance. This study aimed to understand the factor which led to employeesÂ’ stress within state-owned organization in Indonesia. All this time, each organization tried to improve their employees job satisfaction as it would commonly lead to a positive attitude from the employees. Employees organizational commitment was a key which led to organizational success. Work-family conflict had been manifested as a problem in the work-life as the employees could not balance their role as employees and as a family member. These variables were hypothesized to affect employees` job stress level.The research was conducted at PT Pelabuhan Indonesia I Medan, one of major state-owned firm in Indonesia. The research was focused on married employees and had been working for at least 3 years. There were 72 employees across division selected in the research. The sample was proportionally taken from each division. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires. The data was analysed with correlation and multiple regression analyses.Correlation analysis showed that stress had a strong positive relationship with work-family conflict. Stress moderately correlated with the employees` organizational commitment level and satisfaction level. Multiple regression analysis showed that job satisfaction might reduce employees` job stress but it was insignificant. Job stress was positively and significantly affectedby employees` satisfaction and commitment. Employees` organizational commitment negatively and significantly affected the stress level. These relationships explained 64% of job stress variance
