Abstract

Job stress has become an important issue. It is regarded as one of the important occu- pational risks in the modern age. The objective of the present study was to find out the difference in occupational stress of women teachers concerning certain demographic variables. The study was conducted on 500 women teachers teaching in government and self-financed schools and colleges from five districts of Punjab. A multistage random sampling technique was employed. The results revealed that women teachers in government schools and urban areas and women teachers above 35 years of age have higher occupational stress. Based on the findings, it is recommended that workshops on Yoga and meditation camps for teachers be organised to reduce the level of occupational stress.
