The study determined the psychological capital, emotional labor, and stress index of public-school teachers in Tubigon Districts. It is a descriptive-correlational study using standardized survey tools as data gathering tools. Three hundred fifty (350) participants were chosen through a random sampling technique from Tubigon East and West Districts, Division of Bohol, as of the schoolyear 2020 – 2021.
