OCCUPATIONAL STRESS AND BURNOUT TOWARDS TEACHERS’ TURNOVER INTENT: BASIS FOR A PROPOSED “EQUIPPING EDUCATORS FOR JOB STRESS” PROGRAM

Karen S. Ladres, Noe P. Garcia

Abstract


This study aimed to determine whether burnout and occupational stress were predictors of teachers’ turnover intent. Utilizing a descriptive survey approach, data were collected, processed, tabulated, and analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, and averages. A total of 105 teachers from Malapatan 2 District under the Department of Education served as respondents, selected through simple random sampling. The study revealed high levels of occupational stress, teacher burnout, and turnover intent. Results further showed a significant relationship between occupational stress and turnover intent. Among the domains, curricular stress was identified as the key predictor of turnover intent under occupational stress, while attitude towards students was the domain under burnout that predicted turnover intent. These findings established a solid foundation for future research on teacher retention. These may contribute to the body of knowledge by emphasizing the role of stress and burnout in influencing teachers’ intent to leave the profession.
