Authors

Abstract
The quality of teaching is profoundly impacted by the occupational
stress experienced by teachers. When teachers contend with stress in their
professional lives, their ability to fully focus on their teaching tasks is
compromised. Adaptation, in this context, emerges as a crucial predictor of a
teacher's effectiveness within the classroom. The primary aim of this study was
to evaluate the levels of occupational stress among secondary school teachers.
Also, it examines variations in occupational stress among these teachers based
on various demographic factors, such as Gender, Location of School and Types of
School. To accomplish the study's objectives, the researchers employed a
quantitative descriptive research approach. Two hundred and fifty secondary
school teachers of North 24 Pgs, South 24 Pgs and Kolkata districts of West
Bengal were taken up on the basis stratified random sampling techniques.
Teacher's Occupational Stress Scale (TOSS) was used for the study and it is
developed by M. Sharma and S. Kaur. In the present study, the level of Occupational
Stress of Secondary School Teachers of West Bengal has been found more than Average. Additionally, the findings revealed that (i) No significant
difference was found between Male and Female Secondary School Teachers on
Occupational Stress; (ii) No significant difference was found between teachers
from Rural and Urban Secondary School Teachers on Occupational Stress; and
(iii) Occupational Stress of Private school teachers was slightly higher than
Government school teachers.
