Subject area: Management and Commerce · Area of research: Management
Abstract
Teachers are the real builders of the nation. The teachers' role in the growth, development and prosperity of the nation is undeniable. It is the teachers who mold the future society and influence the coming generations towards successful achievement of the national goals. If the teachers have to perform their duties with dedication and sincerity, they must possess adequate mental health. Job-related stress is an important factor in teacher's motivation and retention. Two of the main sources of this stress were cited as work pressure and students' misbehavior. This stress could be putting the school teachers' health at risk, as many find themselves unable to unwind out of school. Basically, school teachers play three different roles at home, school and society. They need to face numerous problems while playing these three roles. So, they are flooded with extreme stress, anxiety and tension which finally affect their personality. This paper explores the source of stress, effect of stress, productivity, and the level of stress among the women in Education Sector. The main objective is to know the socio demographic characteristics and to assess the level of stress among the respondents. Through the pilot study, a questionnaire with 500 respondent?s perception towards their job, attitude towards their job, their health, and their productivity were formed. It is hoped that this measurement tool contributes to the development of intervention strategies to reduce stress and improve productivity for the women stress in Education Sector. The first part of the schedule consisted the personal data and the second part measured the job-stress through the Job-Stress Scale. Based on the major findings suitable suggestions were made to reduce the job-stress among the respondents.
