A total of 162 elementary teachers of select schools of the Division of City schools of El Salvador City comprised the respondents of the study. 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-work-related 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.
