AB  - Geopathic stress is a natural phenomenon which affects certain places and can be damaging to human health. This study determined the extent of geopathic stress (GS) among 253 randomly selected fourth-year college students and its influence on their work-related stress, burnout, and on-thejob training (OJT) performance. Using descriptive-correlational method, the study utilized published on-line GS questionnaire, stress test, burnout inventory, and students鈥� final ratings in OJT. The extent of GS among graduating college students revealed that 13.83% had 鈥渇ew feelings鈥� of GS, 32.81% had 鈥渟ome strong feelings鈥� of GS, 39.13% had 鈥渟ubstantial GS feelings鈥�, and 14.23% were 鈥渆xperiencing鈥� GS. They had 鈥渇air鈥� work-related stress, 鈥渟ome strong鈥� feelings of burnout and 鈥渙utstanding鈥� OJT performance. Significant differences were found in students鈥� burnout when grouped as to the level of GS. A positive and significant relationship was found between GS and burnout and among work-related stress and the OJT performance. However, a negative and significant relationship was found between burnout and OJT performance. Hence, GS is a major stressor that triggered burnout and eventually affects students鈥� OJT performance.
