The Covid pandemic has triggered a phenomenon in Malaysia's education system in particular. This study aims to identify the level of commitment, satisfaction with teacher’s stress during teaching and facilitation in Covid-19 pandemic situations among teachers. Data were obtained from 600 teachers through a questionnaire method using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software to obtain the analysis of this study. The analysis was done using a descriptive statistical method in the context of frequency, percentage and mean. The results of the study showed that the level of work commitment has a score (mean = 3.05, SP = 0.533) while job satisfaction has a score (mean = 3.19, SP = 0.473) and work stress has a score (mean = 3.45, SP = 0.706) among teachers while the implementation of virtual learning is at a moderate level overall. There are many factors that can be summarized for the level of commitment and satisfaction of virtual learning that caused stress among teachers during the pandemic. Among the factors are emotions, motivation, and workload at home and at school, pressure from the society on teachers and teacher’s values. Increase of teacher’s commitment and satisfaction can be enhanced with better infrastructure equipment to reduce teacher’s stress during the pandemic.
