Abstract

Teachers of higher secondary school stage look after adolescents and young adults. It is a tough and challenging task for the teachers to deal with students who are of this age group. The main aim of the present study is to find out the occupational stress level of higher secondary school teachers in Mizoram and to compare the occupational stress level of male and female teachers of higher secondary school in Mizoram. 320 higher secondary school teachers were selected by proportionate random sampling from four (4) districts of Mizoram. A standardized tool ‘Teacher’s Occupational Stress Scale’ developed by Sharma & Kaur (2015) was used for the test. The finding revealed that there is a significant difference between the occupational stress of male and female higher secondary school teachers in Mizoram.
