Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study was conducted to determine the extent of work-related stressors of secondary teachers and its relationship to their job performance in secondary schools of Pasig City during the school year 2023-2024 to serve as a basis for a proposed training program. The design used in this study was descriptive correlational with the survey questionnaire as the main data gathering instrument. The weighted mean, t-test and Pearson r were the statistical tools used to treat the data. The respondents were composed of 236 teachers and five school heads in public secondary schools in District II, Division of Pasig City. Based on the findings, the teacher’s extent of experience with work-related stressors based on the three key indicators (i.e. workload, students’ behavior, and responsiveness to stakeholders), was moderate with a grand weighted mean of 1.58. in addition, Both the teachers and the school heads strongly agree with the indicators that describe the level of teacher’s performance in terms of classroom management, lesson planning, lesson delivery and assessment of learning. Likewise, there was no significant relationship between the work-related stressors experienced by the teachers and their level of performance. Furthermore, stress prevention and management were deemed necessary, thus, was proposed in this study.
