ABSTRACT

—— The purpose of the study is to determine the significant differences of career stages on the wellness level among elementary teachers in Panabo City division. The following are the significant findings: majority of elementary teachers have between 1 to 10 years of service, and most are at the proficient career stage. Further, the overall wellness of elementary teachers appears to be strong across all dimensions with most indicators rated as High or Very High Notably, teachers scored highest in spiritual wellness (mean = 4.27), particularly in feeling connected and purposeful, and physical wellness (mean = 4.17), especially in daily exercise, while emotional wellness showed slightly lower consistency (mean = 3.78), particularly in areas like daily gratitude. Finally, there is no statistically significant difference in the wellness levels of elementary teachers across groups, as indicated by a p-value of 0.278, leading to the acceptance of the null hypothesis. In conclusion, elementary teachers demonstrate a high level of overall wellness, with particularly strong spiritual and physical well-being, while emotional wellness presents modest room for growth. Despite differences in years of service and career stages, wellness levels do not significantly vary across groups, suggesting a generally consistent and positive well-being among teachers. There is still more to discover—especially around emotional wellness. Dig deeper into what helps teachers thrive emotionally and explore how wellness varies across different contexts to build stronger, more responsive support systems.
