An Approach to Stress Related Study of Teachers in Private Educational Institutes

The emergence of private educational institutes in India is a recent development due to the impact of globalization, urbanization and rapid technological changes. The private educational teaching professionals are the facilitators for knowledge and skill through interactive learning methods and have to perform varied duties. The role, responsibilities and teaching activities of a teaching faculty member at private educational institutes have undergone a change with the recent change in the education process. Hence they may face stress through common work and non work stressors. Also, today the young teaching professionals are confronted with the problem of dual role conflict i.e. the work role and the family role. In an attempt to balance both these roles, the faculty experiences stress. As teaching is a stressful occupation, attempts need to be made to study “stress” in faculty of private educational institutes. There is notable absence of research on stressors related to specific teacher groups in Indian context.
