studies have shown that professional drivers are vulnerable occupational group since
they are usually prone to exposure in various stressors and have adverse working
conditions. In addition, recent studies have associated negative job performances,
adverse health outcomes and unsafe vehicle operation within this occupational group.
Generally, the study focuses on determining the dimension of stress among tricycle
drivers in Davao City. Moreover, it focuses on understanding and analyzing the different
dimensions that affects the stress among tricycle drivers.

questionnaires used for data gathering were not mentioned in the study. From the
findings of this research, the framework of stress among the tricycle drivers was
developed. But no recommendation was mentioned to overcome the cause of stress.

c. Method of Research
The researcher employed Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) in order to reduce data into
smaller set of summary variables and identify the dimension of stress among tricycle
drivers in Davao City. The researcher uses random sampling to 150 tricycle drivers
around the city and data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
(SPSS) software.

d. Results
From the findings of this research, it has been determined that the dimensions of stress
