Abstract
The present study aims at finding out the level of occupational stress and its relation to coping strategies in relation to their gender, subject streams and nature of job. Occupational Stress Index and self constructed Coping Strategies Scale were used to collect data from a random sample of 200 secondary school teachers. Statistical techniques such as mean, standard deviation, t test and linear regression were employed for the analysis of data. The results revealed that secondary school teachers experienced moderate level of occupational stress and moderately used coping strategies. Significant differences were indicated regarding occupational stress among secondary school teachers in relation to gender and nature of job whereas insignificant differences were noted in relation to subject streams. Results also revealed insignificant differences for coping strategies in relation to gender and subject streams but significant differences for nature of job. The linear regression model showed a significant negative relationship between occupational stress and coping strategies. Keywords: Occupational stress, Coping, Secondary school teachers, Gender, Subject streams, Nature of job.
