This study examined the effectiveness of managerial interventions in mitigating occupational stress in a bid to enhance job performance among secondary school teachers in Mwanza City and Ilemela Municipality of Mwanza region in Tanzania. Data were gathered from 462 participants comprising Heads of Secondary School (HSS), Secondary School Teachers (SSTs), Ward Education Officers (WEOs) and District Education Officers (DEOs) from December 2021 to June 2023. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study used a questionnaire featuring both open-ended and closed-ended questions to collect qualitative and quantitative data, respectively. Additionally, interviews held with purposively selected teachers to offer comprehensive insights into the research problem. The recognition among employees, fostering superior-subordinate relationships, delegation of authority, on-the-job training and improvement of the work environment emerged as effective managerial interventions for ameliorating occupational stress among secondary school teachers. This research contributes valuable insights that educational administrators and policymakers can capitalise on in implementing strategies aimed to support teacher well-being and strengthen educational outcomes.
