Stress is an important health area of concern among employees globally. The study was structured to investigate the influence of occupational stress on the job involvement of workers. Stress is a complex concept and it has drawn the attention of many to studying its consequences. The variables that were considered includes age, gender, marital status, and types of organizations. These variables have been identified as having implications for occupational stress which influences job involvement of workers in public and private organizations. This is a cross-sectional survey. Questionnaire consisting of two standardized scales (Occupational stress and Job involvement) were administered to 180 workers. One hypothesis was raised and tested using t-test of independent. Results show that there is no significant influence of occupational stress and job involvement of workers in public and private organizations (t = .905, df = 178, p>.05). This study shows that occupational stress exerts strong influence on the job involvement of workers in both private and public organizations. The implications of this study to both employees (public and private) and employers and organizations were highlighted and recommendations made
