TEACHER’S STRESS IN RELATION TO TEACHING EFFICACY AT THE COLLEGE OF HOTEL AND RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT IN A UNIVERSITY

Abstract

Since the dawn of early 1980's, up to present, there has been a growing interest among highly developed countries about the increase and causes of stress among the teachers both at work and in their life. The never-ending change in the educational landscape had a significant effect on this rate of change, starting with the advent of the K-12 program, the Outcome Based Education Curriculum and the Outcome Based Teaching and Learning, not to mention the publish or perish policy implemented by the universities to cope with the looming typology under the Commission on Higher Education regulations. This study made use of the survey method of research. It was found out that majority of the respondents have moderately noticeable level of stress in time management and work- related stressors. Majority of the teachers are efficient enough in engaging students in their respective classes, coming up with good instructional strategies and effective classroom management. A stress management program was proposed to provide information on the causes and consequences of excess stress.
