Dr. T. Shalini Rani, Dr. T. Manvel Raj

Abstract :

 T Stress is considered to be an important problem among teachers. Teachers working in the private Engineering Colleges perform their jobs in various environments. Therefore the psychological problems of teachers caused by work conditions, their perception of work environment and how they cope with these problems differ. The purpose of this research is to determine the stress of private Engineering College teachers caused by the works done in two different environments (shops and classrooms) and the behaviors shown to cope with this stress. The research includes 138 teachers instructing their theory courses in classrooms and 87 teachers instructing practical courses in labs and workshops. A survey is constructed to collect data. The survey is formed in three sections. In the first section there are questions concerning the demographic data, in the second section there are questions concerning the psychological stress indications and in the third section there are questions concerning the behaviors coping with the stress. The data collected is analysed by using frequency, percent average, standard deviation, t–Test and analysis of variance. The data obtained from the research is analysed and evaluated. The ways that could decrease the stress of teachers are proposed.
