Work-Related Stressors and Stress Management Factors: Inputs to Job Satisfaction and Teachers Performance

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Teachers, the most numbered government employees are faced with various challenges, stressors and high expectancies when it comes to professional task and performance. The study opted to evaluate, interpret and determine how teachers manage work-related stress and how it affects their performance and job satisfaction.

METHODS

A descriptive design was used in determining the different work-related stressors and various ways in managing stress and its impact to their performance and job satisfaction.

RESULTS

Based on the results of the study, there are some indicators on work-related stressors and stress management factors that have lesser effect on teacher’s performance and job satisfaction, thus, the hypothesis stating that work-related stressors and stress management factors are not significantly related to teachers’ performance is partially sustained, however, person-related information is significantly related to teachers' performance and job satisfaction.

DISCUSSIONS

Since teachers are bothered with so many stressors, necessarily, these must be identified at the early stage of occurrence to have a clear view on how to manage it. Stress management activities must be crafted and developed to lessen their tensions and pressure on the job.
