Workers who experience stress may be more vulnerable to sickness, diminished motivation, reduced workplace safety, reduced job satisfaction, and lower productivity. This study explores the level of occupational stress among barangay functionaries. A quantitative descriptive research design was used in this study, and a Likert scale survey questionnaire was the mere instrument for gathering data. The findings reveal that the level of occupational stress among barangay functionaries experienced a moderate level of stress at work in occupational stress among barangay functionaries, with a relationship conflict of 3.41 mean and organizational system with 3.41, revealing that they often feel stressed at work. Barangay functionaries employ a considerable number of people between the ages of 31 and 40. In addition, more men than women are working for them, and most are assigned to work in the field rather than in an office. Regarding interpersonal conflict and organizational structure, barangay functionaries experience significant levels of work stress. This suggests that the organization frequently experiences these indicators. In the indication of occupational stress and job instability, barangay functionaries have a high level of stress related to their age; however, there is no significant difference in their sex. Furthermore, employment insecurity significantly affected the respondents' work assignments. Barangay functionaries may have symposium programs aimed at coping with occupational stress. Also, they may have frequent monitoring or evaluation of occupational stress.
