Abstract:
This study was conducted at the eight schools under the North II District, Division of Iligan City. The study found a correlation between elementary school teachers' work performance and their overall health and wellness. In total, 50 teachers participated in this survey. Adapted questionnaires were used to collect the data. A descriptive correlational research design was employed in the study. The respondents' profiles, which included age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, position title, monthly net income, and religion, were described using a descriptive design. Additionally, the respondents' holistic health and wellness level and their work performance were linked in this correlational research methodology. The findings of the study showed that most of the respondents were female, married, belong to the millennial generation, tenured, having a monthly net income of ?20,001 to ?30,000, and Christians. It also demonstrated that respondents were able to concentrate on themselves during the five-month recall period of the study, taking good care of their bodies through appropriate lifestyle choices and being able to manage their emotions and mental wellness while maintaining positive relationships with their families and friends. As a result, it was demonstrated that the respondents' civil status, educational attainment and monthly net income influences their overall health and wellbeing level that had an impact on both their task performance and contextual performance, enabling them to operate effectively and efficiently. The action plan is the result of the study's focus on initiatives. This aimed at enhancing the teachers' overall health and wellness. The Health Belief Model served as the foundation of this study.
