• Work gives way for personal development, a sense of pride, identity and personal
achievement, and enables us to socialize and build more relationships with different
individuals.
• Working provides us with money to support ourselves & explore our interests how ever; it
can also pave the way to greater risks.
• In the context of work, stress is a common phenomenon that a worker experiences.
According to the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety (2018), workplace-
stress is the “harmful physical and emotional responses that can occur when there is a
conflict between demands and the amount of control that one has in meeting this
demands.”
• Teachers have been experiencing high demands and changes over time. Like every other
profession, the life of a teacher is never easy because of how they are dealing with
everyday issues consecutively.

dealing different stressors, affecting their physical and emotional well-being which can make
them feel exhausted, burnt out, unhappy, anxious, and angry.
• Common and noticeable factors that contribute work stress among teachers includes student
behaviour, accomplishing paper works, and Lack of Materials - paving the way to working

by practicing ways or stress relievers that they are comfortable with such as: doing their hobbies,
being with their family and friends, doing prayer and meditation, getting enough rest, and having
proper time management that can help them ease life's and work's obstacles and difficulties.

Recommendations
To the administrators of academic institutions:
1. Construct and follow sustainable support programs and workshops in order to address a
teacher’s stress before it becomes overwhelming. It can help teachers master in the subject
of their specialization, give opportunities for teachers to communicate constructively with their
respective administrators and establish workshops on time management and team building.
2. Establish wellness programs – which are also useful in order to lessen work stress among
teachers. These can help improve health outcomes for teachers and can even save money
due to lower medical costs and absences.
3. And lastly, since one of the main sources of teacher stress is student behavioral problems,
therefore, emotional learning programs are highly necessary. This could be of great help for
teachers to manage their students more effectively and can greatly reduce anxiety.
