Stress Management Strategies among Community College Faculty: A Comprehensive Analysis
Abstract
The study provides an analysis of psychological stress levels, the professional quality of life, and the coping strategies among faculty members at a community college. The study utilized the quantitative design using the descriptive-correlational method to assess the variables. Twenty-two (22) faculty members responded using standardized instruments, particularly the Perceived Stress Scale, the Professional Quality of Life, and the Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory. The findings of the study show that there were no significant differences between the stress levels and the demographic factors such as the age, sex, civil status, and department. However, relevant findings in terms of perceived helplessness in younger faculty members were detected, while higher self-efficacy among older faculty members was revealed. Problem-focused coping was predominantly evident among the faculty. In addition, between stress and professional quality of life, a significant moderate positive correlation (r = 0.53) was identified, which implied that when the impact of stress increases, the quality of life of the faculty members also varies.
