The study employed the descriptive-correlational design using the purposive universal sampling. Mean, standard deviation was used to find out the extent of work-related and non-workrelated stress. Frequency, percentage distribution, mean, and standard deviation were employed to determine the work efficiency of the teachers. Pearson Moment Correlation of Coefficient was used to determine the significant relationship between stress level and work efficiency. The work-related and non-work-related stress of the teachers were at the moderate extent and their work efficiency was at the outstanding level as measured by their IPCRF. Resources and Time Management work-related stress were statistically related with the teachers' work efficiency. Possible training on coping strategies in handling administrative and time management stress may be conducted to maintain the well-being of the teachers.
