Analisis Beban Kerja dalam Mengurangi Stres Kerja Guru di Mts-Sa Miftahul Kharomah

This study aims to analyze the role of workload in reducing teachers’ work-related stress at MTs-SA Miftahul Kharomah. Teachers’ workload is one of the important factors influencing their psychological condition, performance, and overall well-being. High teaching demands accompanied by administrative tasks, time constraints, and additional responsibilities have the potential to cause work stress if not managed properly. Prolonged work stress can negatively affect the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process, the quality of teachers’ performance, and the achievement of educational goals at school. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal and teachers of MTs-SA Miftahul Kharomah. The collected data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of teachers’ workload and work stress conditions.The results of the study indicate that the teachers’ workload at MTs-SA Miftahul Kharomah is relatively high, particularly for teachers with heavy teaching schedules and additional duties outside instructional activities. An unbalanced workload contributes to the emergence of work stress, both physically and mentally. However, more structured workload management, fair task distribution, and support from the school have been proven to help reduce teachers’ work stress levels. Therefore, effective workload management is an important strategy in creating a healthy work environment, improving teachers’ well-being, and supporting the enhancement of educational quality at MTs-SA Miftahul Kharomah.
