The study's findings showed no significant difference in the level of organizational stress in task demand when respondents were grouped according to the size of school personnel and the school's location. However, a significant difference was noted when grouped according to the type of school. There was no significant difference in the level of organizational culture that causes stress among secondary school personnel in terms of role demands among respondents grouped according to age, civil status, monthly income, and length of service in their current position. However, a significant difference is shown when respondents were grouped according to highest educational attainment. The findings revealed no significant difference in the level of organizational stress in terms of role demand when respondents were grouped according to the type of school, the size of school personnel, and the school's location. Thus, key school officials play a significant role in helping lessen stress in workplaces.
