📄 Abstract
Occupational stress has become a popular challenge in the teaching profession all over the globe. It is one of those factors which effects the overall performance and the overall wellbeing of teachers. The present study aims to examine stress among secondary school teachers of Sikkim in terms of variables like gender, type of management, educational qualification, professional qualification, and locale. The desired data was collected from 504 teachers of Sikkim from all the six districts using random sampling technique through an Occupational Stress Scale developed by Sajid Jamal and Abdul Raheem. The data was analysed using statistical tools like percentage and t-test. The study revealed no significant difference in occupational stress between male and female, government and private, graduate and post graduate, and trained and untrained secondary school teachers in Sikkim. Interestingly, a significant difference in occupational stress was observed between urban and rural secondary school teachers. Therefore, findings indicate that locale plays an important role in determining the stress level of secondary school teachers of Sikkim.
