Abstract :

Teaching is said to be a very noble profession. In fact, most people say that teaching is not a profession, but a vocation. This entails having the “heart” to impart knowledge to your learners. With the different responsibilities that a teacher handles, it could also be a very demanding profession, and teachers, like any other individuals, could be prone to work–related stress and it could have adverse effects on the person.

The following were the significant findings gathered from the present study : 1) Majority of the respondents were females , aged between 40–49 and 50–59 and have rendered 1–10 years of service in the University, 2) the common stressors experienced by the respondents were : work–life balance, demands of the job, and change and 3) There is a significant relationship between gender and causes of stress.

One of the recommendations of the study is to conduct a seminar/forum on Stress Management may be done. A Resource Speaker who is an expert on the said matter could be invited so that the faculty members will be well–informed of the various causes as well as coping mechanism of individuals as far as stress is concerned.
