Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to assess the relationship between occupational stress and wellbeing among teachers. The study also assesses whether there are significant differences between occupational stress and wellbeing among novice and experienced teachers. A sample of 100 teachers (50- novice teachers with less than 5 years of experience, 50- experienced teachers with more than 5 years of experience) aged between 23 and 60 years who were teaching in different educational institutions across different parts of India participated in the study. The Occupational Stress Index by Dr. A. K. Srivastava and Dr. A. P. Singh (1984) and PGI General Well-being Measure by S. K. Verma and Amita Verma (1989) were used to measure the variables in the study. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and independent sample t-test were used for statistical analysis of the data. The findings revealed that there is no significant relationship between occupational stress and wellbeing. There was no significant difference in occupational stress and wellbeing among novice and experienced teachers. Implications are discussed.
