ABSTRACT

—— This study examined the extent of implementation of DepEd Order 002, s. 2024 and DepEd Memorandum No. 052, s. 2023 and their relationships with job burnout and job satisfaction among public secondary school teachers in General Santos City National High School during School Year 2025-2026. It used a quantitative descriptive correlational design with data gathered from 100 teachers and school personnel through validated instruments measuring perceived policy implementation, job burnout, and job satisfaction. Results showed that teacher profile variables were significantly related to perceptions of policy implementation. Higher levels of implementation were significantly associated with lower levels of job burnout, while the relationship with job satisfaction was statistically significant but weak. A significant inverse relationship was also found between job burnout and job satisfaction. These findings suggest that effective implementation of workload and administrative policies helps reduce burnout but does not fully ensure higher job satisfaction. The results highlight the need for a structured wellness plan and an updated Enhanced School Form 7 to address workload balance, psychosocial support, and systematic monitoring of teacher well-being.
