ABSTRACT
This research paper determined the role of overload on perceived job stress, as well as job stress on job performance among faculties in private higher educational institutions, with the end goal of creating effective action plans to help faculty members face adversities and, more so, improve their performance productivity in the midst crisis. This study utilized stratified random sampling and G*Power to compute the sample size. The respondents of the study were 134 faculty members of higher educational institutions. The study utilized adapted instruments such as the Role Overload Scale, Job Stress Scale, and Individual Work Performance Questionnaire for the gathering of data. Statistical tools used were the four-point Likert Scale, the percentage formula, the mean formula, and Regression Analysis.
Findings revealed that the role overload level was high, the job stress level was high, and the job performance level was very high among the faculty members of private higher educational institutions. It was also revealed that role overload had a significant influence on job stress. However, job stress had a positive influence on job performance. More so, based on the findings, the action plan entitled, “Role Overload, Job Stress, and Job Performance Management Program” was created to serve as a guide to help manage faculty members’ role overload, job-related stress, and improve job productivity.
