ABSTRACT
Purpose:
This study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of stress and the work performance rating of junior high school (JHS) teachers in Tanza National Comprehensive High School (TNCHS), Tanza District, Division of Cavite Province for the school year 2020-2021.
Design/Methodology/Approach:
The descriptive-correlational design was employed in this study and it utilized a normative survey technique with documentary analysis. The data came from 140 target respondents as reduced from the total population of 218 JHS teachers.
Findings:
The findings of the study revealed that the stress level of the respondents was generally described as “Moderately Stress” (X ̅=2.91). Whilst, the overall work performance level was defined as “Very Satisfactory” (X ̅=4.14). Moreover, based on the results of correlational analysis, the stress level of the teachers and their respective work performance rating was analyzed to be “Negatively Correlated” (r= 5.73. Accordingly, the stress level of the respondents/teachers significantly affects their work performance (F critical value= 67.42, p value = .000, p value < 0.05).
Research Limitations/Implications:
This study is limited to the responses of JHS teachers of TNCNS and their personal assessment of their experiences in the new normal setting.
Originality/ Values:
The result of this study would serve as the basis for policy creation and activity planning for teacher development programs.
