Adversity Quotient, Stress Levels, and Work Performance of Public Elementary School Teachers: A Comparative and Relational Analysis
Keywords:
Adversity Quotient (AQ), Stress Levels, Work Performance, Public Elementary School TeachersAbstract
This study explores the relationship between the adversity quotient (AQ), stress levels, and work performance of public elementary school teachers. It specifically investigates the influence of highest educational attainment, length of service, and plantilla position on the dimensions of the adversity quotient (Reach and Endurance), stress levels (Demand, Control, and Support), and work performance. A sample of elementary school teachers participated in this study, and data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Findings reveal no significant differences in AQ and stress levels across these variables, but significant differences in work performance exist when grouped according to highest educational attainment, length of service, and plantilla position. The study contributes to understanding how stress and AQ impact teaching performance.
