Furthermore, the study attempts to determine the level of work stress among the respondents. A paper and pencil questionnaire will be used to collect the data. The data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, multiple response techniques, correlations analysis, non-parametric tests, and multiple regression analysis. Results will be discussed and directions for future research will be proposed.
