A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON OCCUPATIONAL STRESS AMONG THE TEACHING & NON-TEACHING EMPLOYEES

Stress is an inescapable feature of one's life and work. Anybody doing the job has a vast variation in the potential, which is the starting point of stress. Phenomena of stress must be recognized and interacted with in various professions – in the teaching and non-teaching profession. In recent years inclusive education has risen to prominence, which changed the usual roles of teachers, from employing a "talk and chalk" method to being more pupil-centered. Non-teaching employees also are suffering from stress. Non-teaching employees are also affected by stress. The study's objective was the role of stress among teaching employees and non-teaching employees with the help of 60 samples. The researcher used a stress- scale to measure the level of stress among teaching and non-teaching employees. The Stress Scales (S-scale), developed by Dr Telindker Kaur, Dr Prerna Puri and Prof. Anju Mehta, were used to measure stresses. The 't' test revealed a significant difference between teaching non-teaching staff concerning their stress score. Teachers are more stressed as compared to non-teaching staff.
