Abstract:

The study dealt with job demands and job resources forecasting burnout among teachers during COVID-19 pandemic. The primary goal of the research was to determine the significant relationship between job demands and job resources on burnout utilizing quantitative non- experimental correlational technique with 230 junior high school teachers from seven (7) public secondary and two (2) integrated schools in Santo Tomas West and East District as respondents of the study. Mean, Pearson (r), and Multiple Regression were the statistical tools used for the data treatment. Outcomes displayed a high level of job demands, an average level of job resources, and a low level of burnout. Moreover, there was a significant relationship among the domains of job demands and job resources and burnout. However, only pace and amount of work, and physical effort were the domains that significantly predicted burnout, while no domain of job resources has significantly predicted burnout among junior high school teachers. Thus, the study revealed that teachers showed a positive attitude and strong commitment despite the evident high job demands during trying times. It is recommended that school administrators shall continue to support teachers’ well-being, and uphold their innate resources through psychological first aid and capacity buildings helping them to become more resilient.
