Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 13, Issue 8

Abstract

This descriptive-correlational study aimed to determine the extent of procrastination and level of occupational stress of teachers in the Schools Division of Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental, Philippines, when taken as a whole and when classified according to key stages (grade level taught), teaching position, educational attainment, years in service, and take-home pay. The study's respondents were the 284 public school teachers selected using stratified random sampling. The adopted research instrument contains the demographic profile of the respondents and the statements on procrastination and occupational stress. The results revealed that the respondents' procrastination and occupational stress were low when taken as a whole. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the respondents' procrastination and occupational stress when grouped according to the abovementioned variables. Finally, data revealed a significant relationship between the respondents' extent of procrastination and their level of occupational stress. The findings of this study may provide relevant and significant information which would serve as a baseline for all the policymakers in devising, crafting, and designing activities such as training, workshops, seminars, and stress intervention programs. Furthermore, this study may help the teachers better establish and develop themselves to become adaptive to the demands and trends of the present educational landscape.
