Workplace stress, work attitude, and job satisfaction are important factors that can greatly impact the well-being and productivity of clinic-based radiologic technologists. Understanding the relationship between these factors is crucial for improving the overall work environment and ensuring the job satisfaction of radiologic technologists in healthcare settings (Zhong, 2020). Hence, the researcher is motivated to conduct a study employing correlational research design determining the relationship between workplace stress, work attitude, and job performance of clinic-based radiologic technologists in the province of Laguna. The study consisted of 37 respondents who are clinic-based and registered radiologic technologists from the province of Laguna. Findings show that the respondents experienced less workplace stress, had positive attitudes towards work, and have a high level of job satisfaction. It was also found that the respondents’ work attitude does not depend on their level of workplace stress. Additionally, the respondents’ level of job satisfaction does not depend on their level of workplace stress. Lastly, The more positive the respondents’ attitude toward work, the higher the level of their job satisfaction. It was suggested the researcher’s proposed program should be implemented by clinic management for it will lead to a healthier, more positive, and more efficient work environment for radiologic technologists, resulting in improved performance and retention, as well as higher-quality patient care.
