Volume : III, Issue : IV, May - 2013 PREVALENCE OF OCCUPATIONAL STRESS AMONG WOMEN TEACHERS IN JAMMU, J&K KAVITA SURI DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : In the changing world, more and more women are coming out of their houses to
work. In Indian society, traditionally a woman's sphere of activities has been her home.
But the present economic strain has compelled many women to work outside the home as
in the present-day urban India, a single income is no longer sufficient to run the family.
Working women's wages have become essential. In this newly acquired role, the working
women face challenges differing from those of housewives, because in most cases the
working women's multiple role involvement disturbs other people's expectations and
their great range of demands.
The present paper seeks to find out about occupational stress among teachers of
Jammu district in Jammu and Kashmir. The study would try to find out reasons behind
confining this study to the women teachers of Jammu is to know the causes and explore
the remedies for eliminating and reducing the stress of teachers besides finding out the
impact of occupational stress on women teachers in relations to different levels of
income, experience, qualification and age. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : KAVITA SURI, (2013). PREVALENCE OF OCCUPATIONAL STRESS AMONG WOMEN TEACHERS IN JAMMU, J&K.
