  <abstract>This study investigates the relationship between work stress, job dedication, and personal  well-being among childcare workers in Kuantan, Pahang. Moreover, data were gathered  from 54 participants employed in institution-based childcare centers through validated  instruments: the Job Stress Scale, Well-Being Assessment, and a customized  questionnaire for job dedication. Findings in the study reveals that 59.3% of participants  reported moderate work stress levels, primarily influenced by high workloads,  challenging child behaviours, and inadequate compensation. A smaller subset (5.7%)  experienced high stress levels, correlating with lower job satisfaction and diminished  well-being. Job dedication emerged as a mitigating factor, with 66.0% of participants  identifying childcare as their chosen profession. A weak but statistically significant  positive correlation (r = 0.299, p = 0.028) was observed between job views and  motivations for pursuing childcare work, indicating alignment between personal values  and professional roles. The study underscores the relationship of work stress on  personal well-being, with participants reporting reduced mental and physical health,  lower life satisfaction, and heightened anxiety. Despite these challenges, job dedication  demonstrated a protective effect, enhancing resilience and caregiving quality. Addressing  these findings, the study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to manage stress,  foster job dedication, and improve the overall well-being of childcare workers.  Recommendations include introducing better workload management, competitive  compensation, professional development opportunities, and supportive workplace  environments to ensure sustainable and high-quality childcare services.</abstract>
