ABSTRACT

The School teachers are the first who contribute to transform the human resource into human capital. The mental and physical health of the teachers matter a lot with regard to their performance in teaching learning process. In this background, the present study aims to measure the occupational stress and subjective well being of the teachers, working in various schools of Ranchi urban and it’s adjacent rural areas. The main objectives of the study were to examine the difference in levels of Occupational Stress and well being of the male and female as well as between the teachers working in urban and rural areas. It also aimed to see the relationship between occupational stress and subjective well being. Data were collected using Personal Data Questionnaire, Teacher’s Occupational Stress Scale (Jamal, S. and Raheem, A. 2012) and Subjective Well being Inventory (Thakur, G.P. and Sing, R.N. 2005) from 120 school teachers, stratified randomly on the basis of gender and location of schools- rural and urban. A 2×2 factorial design was used for the study. Analysis of the data revealed that the Secondary School Teachers had an average level of Occupational Stress and Subjective Well being. No significant difference was observed between the male and female as well as teachers of rural and urban school on Occupational Stress and Subjective Well being. A negative correlation was observed between the Occupational Stress and Subjective Well being of school teachers. The regression analysis reveled that a great deal of Occupational Stress may be explained by the Subjective Well being of School Teachers.
