Abstract: This study is generally aimed at determining burnout and teaching performance of faculty members in the University of Eastern Philippines from school year 2014-2015. The description-correlational method was used in this study. On extent of teachers burnout in terms of emotional exhaustion, majority of the faculty were experiencing moderate burnout. As to depersonalization, majority were low burnout and in terms of reduced personal accomplishment more than 50 percent were moderate burnout and 30 percent were low burnout while 10 percent were high burnout. As to the performance of the faculty respondents per student evaluation, 26.81 percent were outstanding, 47.10 percent very satisfactory, 24.64 percent satisfactory and 1.45 percent fair. On the test of relationship between the performance and burnout construct, it was found out that the extent of teachers burnout has no significant effect to teaching performance. It could be because teachers are committed to their profession. However, the table of beta coefficient shows a beta coefficient value of 0.146 which means that if teachers burnout affect teaching performance, the effect is inversely proportional. This is if the teachers burnout increase the teaching performance decreases.
