Factors Causing Stress Among Secondary School Teachers

Teacher stress is a real phenomenon and is associated with problems of recruitment,health and retention of teachers. Research has shown that teachers stress is reliably associated with a number of variables, including those intrinsic to the job, individual cognitive vulnerability and systemic factors. There are however important gaps in our understanding of teacher stress, most notably regarding effective interventions. The current research base is not adequate to allow us to devise effective programmers to reduce teacher stress. The modern jet age world, which is said to be a world of amazing achievements, is also a horrible world of stress. We find stress everywhere whether it be within the family, business organization enterprise or any other social or economic activity.
