A Comparative Study of Work Related Stress among Government and Private College Faculty in Uttarakhand State, India

Abstract

Today's human life is full of stress & challenges. The job of a teacher is physically & mentally challenging. A faculty uses lot of energy in class room teaching, in addition to his or her personal and family commitments. This works as a source of stress to the teachers.

In Today's scenario, work is not a source of satisfaction and fulfillment; rather it is becoming a source of stress, discontentment and humiliation as there is a deterioration of mental peace and aggravation of stress level in the Private sector due to unsatisfactory job conditions.

Several studies have been done to study the work related stress in sectors- Banking, corporate, medical etc but the teaching sector is still neglected in India.

The present paper aims to locate the differences in the stress level of government and private college faculty and stress symptoms experienced by them.
