Stress, Stressors, Job Satisfaction

The respondents of this research project are faculty members of the Mindanao State University-Main Campus at Marawi City. The study found that among nine indicators of causes of stress that were considered, only health condition and sanitation within campus grounds are sources of stress among the faculty. However, as to level of satisfaction, the faculty are quite dissatisfied with the following factors: (1) the policy on faculty promotion, (2) the services offered by the University Infirmary, inclusive of how the University ensures the adequacy and effectivity of service of the Infirmary, (3) the enforcement of University measures of sanitation on campus grounds, which includes garbage disposal units and sanitation facilities, among others. The research also looked into the bearing of stressors on level of satisfaction and found that only two stressors do not affect the level of satisfaction of the faculty, and these are: the monitoring of classroom activity, and the control of the faculty of the content of one’s work. All the other stressors that were considered were found to affect the level of satisfaction of the MSU faculty, and these include the following: physical working conditions, safety and security, faculty grants and study leave privileges, tenure, promotion, administration’s leadership, adequacy of medical services offered by the University Infirmary, sanitation of comfort rooms, sanitation of academic buildings and facilities, the work load, remuneration for services rendered, and participatory decision-making.
