Abstract

The dynamic environment has been causing tension to many occupations and teaching is not an exception. Research in different nations has shown that teaching is a stressful job. The factors causing stress can be from the system, colleagues, or students. The stress may adversely affect the psychological or physiological systems of teachers. In this paper, an attempt is made to identify the factors of stress related to occupation of teachers in post graduate colleges and find the impact of stress on their work and health. About 121 teachers engaged in teaching MBA and MCA courses took part in the study and reported moderate stress levels and minor health disorders. Their coping methods are simple like walking, exercises, entertainment and yoga.
