Abstract:

The study attempted to assess the level of stress of public-school teachers in the West I District, taking into consideration their demographic profile as well as the factors influencing it. Furthermore, it intends to know the relationship between their mental health status and job satisfaction. This study utilized the descriptive- correlational research design with 132 randomly selected teachers under West I District as the respondents of the study. Frequency distribution and percentage were utilized to get the profile of the respondents. To obtain the significant relationship between variables the Pearson Product Moment correlation, ANOVA and Regression were used. Results showed that there is no significant relationship between the level of occupational stress and the mental health of the respondents when grouped according to their profile. The results from regression analysis for the significant relationship between the respondents’ socio-demographic profile and their occupational stress show that there is a positive relationship in terms of age and highest educational attainment. There is no significant relationship between the level of occupational stress and mental health and the job satisfaction of the respondents. Results showed that all of the mentioned socio-demographic profiles are not predictors of their job satisfaction as indicated in their p-values greater than 0.05 level of significance. Regardless of differences in these socio- demographic characteristics among individuals, they do not seem to have a notable impact on how satisfied they are with their work.
