The study aimed to determine the occupational stress in teaching profession and its relationship to teacher’s teaching performance. Specifically, this study employed the descriptive-correlation type of research design which primarily employed the survey method. The research instrument used was an adapted yet modified questionnaire. Frequency and Percentage, Weighted Mean and Standard deviation, and Pearson r Correlation were used as statistical tools. Results showed that respondents had high level of occupational stress; the level of teacher’s attitude disclosed that it was very high and the level of teacher’s performance was very satisfactory. Results revealed that the null hypothesis of no significant relationship between the profile and the occupation stress in teaching profession of the respondents was not rejected. The occupational stress and attitudes towards the organization was significantly correlated, as well as the attitudes and teachers’ performance. Similarly, the null hypothesis of no significant relationship between the occupational stress and teachers’ performance was not rejected. Thus, an intervention program as output of the study was presented.
