Abstract

This study determined the Level of Stress among Employees in the Local Government Unit of Batac: Basis for Intervention Programs. This study used a descriptive research design, and it described the profile of LGU employees in terms of the following personal and professional variables: name, age, gender, civil status, number of years in service, highest educational attainment, job title, employment status, and stressors along with the job, organizational, and individual factors. It also investigated the relationship between the profile and the level of stress. Likewise, it also determined the relationship between stressors and the level of stress. The statistical tools used to treat the data gathered are frequency, percentage, mean, and correlation analysis.

The following conclusions were drawn: most respondents are 41–50 years old, male, single, and college graduates. A significant percentage hold positions as administrative assistants with permanent/regular employment status.

The employees of the Local Government Unit of Batac have a favorable feeling of satisfaction with their quality of working life, the policies and practices of the organization, and their personal lives. However, there are still potential stressors along with job, organizational and individual factors such as heavy workload, interpersonal relationships with co-workers, and health concerns.

The stressor on job factors is a heavy workload, stressors on organizational factors are employees' perception of working with persons of their liking, and stressors on individual factors are health concerns like headache, migraine, and fatigue. Age, civil status, years in service, highest educational attainment, job title, and employment status have no significant relationship with employees' stress levels. In contrast, gender has a significant relationship with employees' stress levels.
