Abstract

This study examined the impact of the work environment and psychosocial factors on teachers health and performance. It focused on the provision of psychosocial support in a school, teachers psychosocial skills, and their correlations. The study used a descriptive research method, with 80 teachers from Pedro Guevara Memorial National High School as respondents. A five-point Likert questionnaire was employed for data collection. The analysis included weighted mean and Spearman rho correlation coefficient. Results showed that the school effectively provided psychosocial support for teachers, and teachers demonstrated strong psychosocial skills, likely due to this support. The study also found significant correlations between teachers profiles and their psychosocial skills, including the number of children, problem-solving skills, and role responsibilities. Additionally, significant correlations were identified between the schools psychosocial support practices and the development of positive identity, management skills, and group effectiveness skills among teachers.
