instruments used to measure the variables were: 1) The Occupational Stress Index by Srivastava and Singh (1984)
and 2) Maslach Burnout Inventory by Maslach and Jackson (1981). The statistical techniques of descriptive
statistics, Independent samples t test and Pearson's coefficient were employed to analyze the data. The findings of
the study indicated significant positive relationship between job burnout and occupational stress. Occupational
stress was found to be significantly and positively related to Emotional exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Lack of
personal accomplishment. Higher the stress among the teachers, higher was the job burnout. Teachers working in
private schools had higher job burnout in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization than teachers working in

in government and private schools. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Ali Qadimi And Praveena K. B, (2013). Occupational Stress And Job Burnout Among Primary School Teachers.
