In today’s competitive global environment, employee performance is an essential element of a company’s success. Employee performance can be significantly hindered by high levels of stress experienced in the work environment. Stress is a universal element and persons from nearly every walk of life have to face it. Employers today are critically analyzing the stress management issues that contribute to lower job performance of employees. The main aim of the study was to evaluate stress and its effect on employees’ performance. The study was conducted at Ghana Health Service, Wa Municipal. Descriptive survey was adopted as the research design. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used in selecting a sample size of 50 out of a population of 100. Questionnaires were used as data collection instrument. From the results obtained, it was evident that there were many stress factors that the respondents endured, and the enquiry proved that stress has an effect on performance. Majority of the respondents reported to work under pressure and that they feel uncared for by the organization. The fact that majority of respondents thought of leaving their job, and felt that the organization did not care about them was a reflection of huge dissatisfaction that undoubtedly lowered performance. It was recommended that Management must conduct an analysis of the organizational mood and climate by assessing the reasons why the employees think Ghana Health Service does not care about its employees and what they can do to change it. It was also suggested that an Employee Assistance Programme be introduced for early identification and intervention on problems so that performance levels do not decrease.Keywords: Stress, Performance, Ghana Health Service Workers, Wa Municipal.

Starting from the premise that human resources are a critical success factor for companies, this paper analyses the logic of recruitment preferences in Burkina Faso. The explanatory variables are the industrial sector and the level of billing. The main findings reveal that traditional forms of personnel recruitment are dominant in Burkina Faso, in particular in agribusiness and commerce, and in the small business segments, what does not make them very competitive. In addition, the findings put in light that the most modern forms of personnel recruitment are preferred in the construction sector or in large companies. It is found that, a greater technical complexity of the job leads to a greater need to imitate the criteria of the developed world, and that a lower technical complexity implies a greater importance of the worker's morality. It is recommended that the different companies should reconsider their recruitment methods by putting a priority on modern recruitments methods.

This study shows the state of fraud in businesses in Burkina Faso while diagnosing anti-fraud schemes. Thanks to this research carried out on Burkinabè companies, the results show that fraud affects all sectors of activity. It also exposes the limits of anti-fraud systems, which are essentially: the limits of the organizational framework, the weakness of the internal control system and the lack of an anti-fraud culture. To conduct our research, a quantitative approach is used to collect and interpret the data and the qualitative approach to deepen the analyzes. The results show that fraud is very real and affects the majority of companies: among the causes are weaknesses in internal control systems. To do this, we have proposed ways to identify the risks of fraud, thwart them and prevent them. This concerns particularly the mapping of fraud risks and the implementation of the anti-fraud system.Keywords: Fraud, Business, Prevention, Systems.
