Abstract

The study aimed to examine the levels of occupational stress experienced by physical education teachers of Dakshina Kannada district. The sample consisted of 288 physical education teacher respondents working in secondary schools of Dakshina Kannada District of Karnataka State. The respondents were responded to the Occupational Stress Index (Shrivastava and Singh, 1984). This Occupational Stress Index is used with some modifications. The data were analyzed with the help of programs called SPSS 17.0. The research findings point out that physical education teachers generally suffer from a moderate level of occupational stress in most of the components of occupational stress and total occupational stress. Only in role ambiguity and unprofitability physical education teachers had significantly low levels of stress. Lastly alleviating stress among physical education teachers has been discussed.
