On Job Stress and School Effectiveness in Pakistan: Causes and Consequences
Abstract
The main objective of this study was to find out the stress level on job or work place in secondary school teachers. Forty eight 48 head teachers and 114 secondary school teachers served as a sample of the study. Two questionnaires “teachers’ job related stress scale (TJRSS)” and “School effectiveness scale (SES)” were developed to collect data from the sample of the study. The mean Combine on the Teachers’ Job Related Stress Scale (TJRSS) was found 3.70 that showed moderate level of job stress in secondary school teachers. The mean combine of the school effectiveness scale (SES) was found 2.57 that indicated low level school effectiveness. Factors like, sluggish promotion mechanism of school teachers, autocratic attitude of school administration and appointment in remote areas were found as the causes of job stress in secondary school teachers. A negative correlation was found between Job stress and school effectiveness. The Government and school authorities are recommended to try their best to overcome the stress causing problems in order to improve the school effectiveness.
