Abstract

This study aimed to determine the level of teaching-related stress in terms of Workload, Students Behavior and Responsiveness of the Stakeholders and the extent of the level of stress among the 120 Public School teachers of Balingoan District, Misamis Oriental Division. The significant relationship between teaching-related stress and extent of level of stress was also determined. The instruments used in this study were from Ferguson et al., (2017), for the teaching-related stress and for the Level of Stress, the Perceived Stress Questionnaire of Levenstein et al., (2012) was utilized. Findings revealed that teaching-related stress in terms of Workload, Students Behavior and Responsiveness of the Stakeholders have Significant Relationship to the Levels of Stress experienced by the teachers in the school. Moreover, data revealed that teachers are Most Stressed in terms of Responsiveness of the Stakeholders. The high levels of stress that teachers experience can be attributed to the lack of support from stakeholders and excessively demanding obligations that are associated with the teaching profession. In general, stress among teachers is commonplace and is becoming an increasingly significant problem. Therefore, it is recommended that the government and administrators should look at the possible intervention to minimize the level of stress of educators. However, if the stress is already pushing teachers to their breaking point and is uncontrollable, it is strongly suggested that they seek consultation and advice from professional experts.
