Abstract:

The goal of the study was to ascertain how workplace stress in the teaching professional relates to teachers' ability to perform as teachers. The descriptive-correlation survey method, was used in this study. Results indicated that respondents had high levels of job stress; yet, teachers' attitudes and performance levels were also highly satisfying. There was no significant association between a respondents profile and their workplace stress in the teaching profession. The workplace stress and attitudes towards the organization were significantly correlated, as well as the attitudes and teachers’ performance. Similarly, the null hypothesis of no significant relationship between workplace stress and teachers’ performance was not rejected. The finding implied that the employee’s source of stress had to be recognized since it affected their level of performance. They could manage their stress and its effect yet, were unable to control the different sources of stress. Hence, their performance was inevitable depending on their risks and level of sources of stress around them. Thus it provided unexpected workplace stress due to their teaching performance, workloads and even problems with the learners which were beyond their skills and knowledge. Thus, an action plan as the output of the study was presented.
