ABSTRACT
Obsiana, Rennia Joy Baria, Capiz State University Roxas City Main Campus, May 2024. Burnout Levels and
Stress Levels Among Techers: Basis for Faculty Development Program"
Teaching is said to be a demanding profession. It is important to discuss how instructors manage their burnout
levels and stress levels and how these impact their productivity. Burnout levels are said to be the results of the
stress levels. For this reason, the researcher initiated on this study to know the burnout levels and stress levels of
teachers. Furthermore, the researcher is motivated to pursue this study for this will be a basis for the faculty
development program in the university.
This study aimed to determine the burnout levels and stress levels among the teachers. Specifically, it sought to
determine the burnout level of teachers in terms of emotional exhaustion, personal dissatisfaction and
depersonalization; and determine the stress level of teachers in terms of work environment and work overload,
use of new technologies, organizational aspect and relationship and role of teachers; and find out if there is
significant relationship between burnout levels and stress levels among the teachers.
The result revealed that in terms of burnout levels, the indicators emotional exhaustion, personal dissatisfaction
and depersonalization is exhibited low extent, very low extent and very low extent in burnout levels respectively.
For the stress level, the indicators: work environment and work overload, use of new technologies, organizational
aspect and relationships and role of instructors have results of average extent, low extent, low extent and low extent
in stress levels respectively. Further, the results revealed a significant relationship between burnout levels and
stress levels. Hence, the study is highly recommended to be used as a basis to conduct a faculty development
program in the institution.

INTRODUCTION
Burnout is the result of working too much and feeling too exhausted or sick, psychologically or physically.
Burnout is a condition of extreme mental, emotional, and physical tiredness brought on by prolonged or severe
stress. It manifests when you feel helpless, overburdened, and unable of handling life's responsibilities.
(McDonald, 2022)
Stress is a pressure or worry brought on by one's workload or personal issues. Stress is the body's reaction to any
demandwhether it be mental, emotional, or physical. When the body senses a threat, hormones like cortisol
and adrenaline are released. Stress can be caused by a wide range of factors. It could be the result of outside
variables like a rigorous work schedule or a challenging home life. In addition, personal issues like anxieties or
phobias may contribute to it. Burnout can occur, though, if stress becomes overwhelming and persistent.
(McDonald, 2022)
For this reason, the researcher wants to conduct this study to know the different factors that affects the burnout
levels and stress levels among teachers. Furthermore, the researcher is motivated to pursue this study for this will
be a basis for the faculty development program in the university.

Statement of the Problem
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the burnout levels and stress levels among teachers as a basis
for faculty development program. Specifically, it aimed to answer the following questions:
1. What is the burnout level of teachers in terms of emotional exhaustion, personal dissatisfaction and
depersonalization?
2. What is the stress level of teachers in terms of work environment and work overload, use of new
technologies, organizational aspect and relationship and role of teachers?
3. Is there a significant relationship between burnout and stress level among the teachers?
METHODOLOGY
This chapter describes the methods, descriptive research design, correlational research design, quantitative
research design, locale of the study, participants of the study, research instrument, data gathering procedure,
statistical tools, and data analysis.
Research Design
This study entitled “Burnout Levels and Stress Levels Among Teachers: Basis for Faculty Development
Programadopts the descriptive research design. Sirisilla (2023) defines descriptive research design as a topic
is observed and data is gathered without an attempt to infer cause-and- effect correlations. Descriptive research
design includes surveys, case studies and observational studies.
In this study, correlational research design is used. According to Fleetwood (2024), correlational research is a
type of non-experimental research method in which two variables are measured, and the statistical relationship
between them is understood and evaluated without the impact of any other variable.
Employed in this study is the quantitative research design. Jain (2023) defines quantitative research design as a
research methodology that is applied in multiple fields, such as market research, economics, psychology, and
social sciences. To find answers to research problems and validate ideas, it seeks to gather and evaluate numerical
data.
Data Gathering Procedure
In the quest to understand what makes teachers tick, the researcher started this study. The objective is to gather
data that would unveil the factors shrouded in burnout levels and stress levels. This data would then be the
cornerstone for building a faculty development program, a beacon of support for the university's dedicated
teachers. The journey began with reaching out to the campus administrator and followed by giving letters to every
department head. A number of representative group of faculty across various departments to participated in the
answering of the survey. Participation, of course, would be completely voluntary. There would be no names on
surveys, but rather codes to ensure complete confidentiality. However, some background information would be
helpful, like the instructors' years of experience and their specific departments. This would give the researchers
a broader context to understand the data. The core of the data collection process would be a specially designed
survey. This survey would be like a compass, guiding the researcher towards understanding the teachers'
emotional state. Standardized tools, validated by experts, would be used to measure burnout levels and stress
levels.
Data Analysis Procedure
Once the surveys were collected, the meticulous work of analysis would begin. The researcher weaved a narrative
from the data. The researcher analyzed the different indicators with burnout and stress levels, identifying patterns
across departments. The open-ended responses would be carefully examined, looking for recurring themes that
might reveal deeper issues. This data analysis wouldn't be just about statistics; it would be about understanding

the human experience of burnout and stress levels. Both the mean of burnout and stress levels are tested for
correlation. By combining the data, the researcher gained a comprehensive picture of what ailed the teachers.
This newfound knowledge would be the golden key, unlocking the door to designing a faculty development
program that addressed the specific stressors identified in the study.
Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data
Burnout Levels in terms of Emotional Exhaustion
The burnout levels in terms of emotional exhaustion among the teachers is shown in Table 1a. The result indicates
the average mean of 2.20 with the description of “rarelyand with the verbal interpretation “Low Extent”. The
statement, “I feel emotionally drained from my work”, got the highest mean of 3.04 with the description of
“sometimes” with the verbal interpretation “Average Extent”. Followed by the statement, “Working with people
all day long requires a great deal of effort”, which got a mean of2.98 with the description of “sometimes” and
with the verbal interpretation “Average Extent”. The statement, “I feel I work too hard at my job” got a mean of
2.31 with the description of rarely” and with the verbal interpretation “Low Extent”; while the statement, “I
feel like my work is breaking me down” got a mean of 2.16 with the description of rarely” and with the verbal
interpretation “Low Extent”. The statement, “It stresses me too much to work in direct contact with people” got
a mean of 1.90 with the description of rarely” and with the verbal interpretation “Low Extent”; while the
statement, “I feel frustrated by my work” got a mean of 1.67 with the description of “never” and with the verbal
interpretation “Very Low Extent”. Lastly, the statement, I feel like I’m at the end of my rope” got a mean of
1.34 with the description of “never” and with the verbal interpretation “Very Low Extent”.
Thus, the result implies that the statement, “I feel emotionally drained from my work” may affect the instructors’
burnout, which subsequently entails that having a feeling of uncontrolled emotion at work is an emotional
exhaustion which may result to burnout. The result of this study affirms the findings of Klusman, Aldrup,
Schmidt and Ludtke (2020), which state that work-related uplifts were negatively and work-related hassles were
positively related to emotional exhaustion.

indicates the average mean of 1.28 with the description of “never” and with the verbal interpretation “Very Low
Extent”. The statement, “I unaccomplished many worthwhile things in this job”, got the highest mean of 1.47
with the description of “never” with the verbal interpretation Very Low Extent”. Followed by the statement, In
my work, I handle emotional problems frantically”, which got a mean of 1.32 with the description of “never and

a mean of 1.28 with the description of “never” and with the verbal interpretation “Very Low Extent”. The
statement, “I feel I lack energy in my job” got a mean of 1.28 with the description of “never” and with the verbal
interpretation “Very Low Extent”; while the statement, “I lookafter my recipients/students problems negatively”
got a mean of 1.27 with the description of “never” and with the verbal interpretation “Very Low Extent”. The
statement, “I easily misunderstand what my recipients/students feel” got a mean of 1.34 with the description of
“never” and with the verbal interpretation Very Low Extent”; lastly, the statement, “Through my work, I feel
that I have a negative influence on people” got a mean of 1.16 with the description of “never” and with the verbal
interpretation Very Low Extent”.

Thus, the result implies that the statement, “I unaccomplished many worthwhile things in this jobmay affect
the instructors’ burnout, which subsequently entails that satisfaction or dissatisfaction is an affective response to
past actions; self-confidence expectations are judgments about one's future capabilities to attain one's goal. The
result of this study affirms the findings of Khamisa, Peltzer, Ilic and Odernburg (2017), which state that personal
stress is a better predictor of burnout and general health than personal dissatisfaction, which is better predicted by
work stress.
Burnout Levels in terms of Depersonalization
The burnout levels in terms of depersonalization among the teachers is shown in Table 1c. The result indicates
the average mean of 1.79 with the description of “never” and with the verbal interpretation “Very Low Extent”.
The statement, I feel tired when I get up in the morning and have to face another day at work”, got the highest
mean of 2.34 with the description of “rarely with the verbal interpretation “Low Extent”. Followed by the
statement, “I have the impression that my recipients/students make me responsible to some of their problems”,

which got a mean of 2.11 with the description of “rarely” and with the verbal interpretation Low Extent”. The
statement, “I am at the end of my patience at the end of my work daygot a mean of 1.97 with the description
of “rarely and with the verbal interpretation Low Extent”; while the statement, I feel I treat some
recipients/students as if they are objects” got a mean of 1.83 with the description of rarely” and with the verbal
interpretationLow Extent”. The statement, I have become more insensitive to people since I’ve been working”
got a mean of 1.52 with the description of “never” and with the verbal interpretation Very Low Extent”; while
the statement, “I really don’t care about what happens to some of my recipients/students” got a mean of 1.40 with
the description of “never” and with the verbal interpretation “Very Low Extent”. Lastly, the statement, “I’m
afraid that this job is making me uncaring” got a mean of 1.37 with the description of “never” and with the verbal
interpretation Very Low Extent”.
Thus, the result implies that the statement, “I feel tired when I get up in the morning and have to face another
day at work” may affect the instructors’ burnout, which subsequently entails that instructors, at times, may feel
tired to face another work day. The result of this study negates the findings of Abuaddous, Bataineh and Alabood
(2018), which state that no significant relation was captured at any level between depersonalization and control
risk assessment indicating that this factor does not affect auditors’ judgement decision making.

Stress Levels in terms of Work Environment and Work Overload
The stress levels in terms of work environment and work overload among teachers is shown in Table 2a. The
result indicates the average mean of 2.79 with the description of sometimes” and with the verbal interpretation
“Average Extent”. The statement, “I have to take work home to complete it”, got the highest mean of 3.07 with
the description of “sometimes” with the verbal interpretation “Average Extent”. Followed by the statement, “I

2.61 with the description of “sometimes and with the verbal interpretation “Average Extent”. Lastly, the
statement, I am unable to keep up with correcting papers and other school works” got a mean of 2.48 with the
description of “rarely” and with the verbal interpretation “Low Extent”.
Thus, the result implies that the statement, “I have to take work home to complete itmay sometimes affect the
instructors’ stress levels, which subsequently entails that instructors unfinished work at school are sometimes
taken home which can give additional stress to them. The result of this study affirms the findings of Jain (2021),
which state that the participant teachers’ perceived stress ranged from moderate to high levels due to high
workload, multiple sources of stress, the emotional demands of the role and the frustration and constraints they
face in role performance.

Stress Levels in terms of Use of New Technologies
The stress levels in terms of use of new technologies among teachers is shown in Table 2b. The result indicates
the average mean of 2.42 with the description of “rarelyand with the verbal interpretation “Low Extent”. The
statement, “New technologies make it too easy for other individuals to send me additional work”, got the highest
mean of 3.05 with the description of “sometimes” with the verbal interpretation “Average Extent”. Followed by
the statement, I feel overwhelmed by the amount of new technologies that I need to learn and use”, which got a
mean of 2.54 with the description of “rarelyand with the verbal interpretation “Low Extent”. The statement,

Thus, the result implies that the statement, New technologies make it too easy for other individuals to send me
additional work” may affect the instructors’ stress levels, which subsequently entails that new technologies are
being used to easily send more work to instructors which in turn gives them stress. The result of this study affirms
the findings of Batanero, Gravan, Rebollo and Rueda (2021), which state that teachers present high levels of
anxiety or stress due to their use of educational technology in the classroom.

Stress Levels in terms of Organizational Aspect
The stress levels in terms of organizational aspect among teachers is shown in Table 2c. The result indicates the
average mean of 2.04 with the description of “rarely and with the verbal interpretation “Low Extent”. The
statement, “I feel that I don’t have enough support and resources available to manage my work”, got the highest
mean of 2.19 with the description of rarely with the verbal interpretation “Low Extent”. Followed by the
statement, “My administrator/supervisor makes demands that I cannot meet”, which got a mean of 2.14 with the

Thus, the result implies that the statement, “I feel that I don’t have enough support and resources available to
manage my work” may affect the instructors’ stress, which subsequently entails that having little support from
the people around, co-worker and administration can give stress to the instructors. The result of this study affirms
the findings of Beausaert, Froehlich, Devos, and Riley (2016), which state that social support predicts decreased
stress and in turn burnout in school principals, however differences were found according to the type of social
support.

The stress levels of teachers in terms of relationships and role of teachers is shown in Table 2d. The result indicates
the average mean of 1.89 with the description of “rarelyand with the verbal interpretation “Low Extent”. The
statement, “I become impatient/angry when my students do not do what I ask them to do”, got the highest mean
of 2.30 with the description of rarely with the verbal interpretation “Low Extent”. Followed by the statement,
“My students make my job stressful”, which got a mean of 2.00 with the description of “rarely” and with the
verbal interpretation “Low Extent”. The statement, “I get too little support from the instructors I work with. (e.i.

a mean of 1.67 with the description of “never” and with the verbal interpretation “Very Low Extent”.
Thus, the result implies that the statement, “I become impatient/angry when my students do not do what I ask
them to do” may affect the instructors’ stress level, which subsequently entails that students behavior towards

Relationship between Burnout and Job Demands
Table 4 displayed the correlation between burnout and stress levels. The results showed a significant relationship
between burnout and stress levels since the obtained p-value (0.000) is less than 0.05 level of significance.
The result of this study conforms the findings of Gautheur, Ginoux, Gerber and Sarrazin (2019) which states that
stress was associated with higher levels of job burnout; (b) that under a high stress condition, PA was negatively
linked to cognitive weariness; and (c) that intrinsic motivation for PA reinforced the positive moderating effect of
PA on the stressburnout relationship, especially when stress is high.

CONCLUSIONS
Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn:
1. For burnout level in terms of emotional exhaustion exhibits a low result. Hence, the statement, “I feel
emotionally drained from my work” has an average extent in burnout.
2. For burnout level in terms of personal dissatisfaction exhibits a very low result. Hence, the statement, “I
unaccomplished many worthwhile things in this jobhas a very low extent in burnout.
3. For burnout level in terms of depersonalization exhibits a very low result. Hence, the statement, I feel tired
when I get up in the morning and have to face another day at work” has a low extent in burnout.
4. For stress levels in terms of work environment and work overload, exhibits an average result. Hence, the
statement, I have to take work home to complete it” has an average extent in stress levels.
5. For stress levels in terms of the use of new technologies, exhibits a low result. Hence, the statement, “New
technologies make it too easy for other individuals to send me additional work” has an average extent in stress
levels.
6. For stress levels in terms of the organizational aspect exhibits a low result. Hence, the statement, I feel that
I don’t have enough support and resources available to manage my work” has a low extent in stress levels.
7. For stress levels in terms of relationships and role of instructors exhibits a low result. Hence, the statement, “I
become impatient/angry when my students do not do what I ask them to do” has a low extent in stress levels.
The null hypothesis stating that there is no significant relationship between burnout and stress levels among

teachers is therefore rejected.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the findings and conclusions drawn, the following are the recommendations:
As to the study's results, the burnout level and stress levels may be used as basis to conduct a faculty development
program in the institution. This man not be limited to the faculty but also to the staff.
For further development of the study on burnout level and stress levels, other school may be subject for this study,
such as schools in Iloilo not included in this study.
Studies and observation are recommended to discover more approaches suited to advanced studies conducted in
quantitative and qualitative research.
