THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JOB STRESS AND JOB SATISFACTION AMONG INDUSTRIAL AND TECHNICAL TEACHERS

Abstract

         The researchers examined the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction among a random sample of 133 industrial and technical teachers across the State TamilNadu.

Correlational analysis revealed a strong inverse relationship between the constructs, with stressors related to lack of organizational support being more strongly associated with job satisfaction than stressors related to the job itself were. There also were significant differences (p < .05) in correlations between job satisfaction and frequency of stressors and correlations between job satisfaction and intensity of stressors, suggesting that frequency of stressors had a greater impact on participants job satisfaction than the intensity of stressors. These results have implications for addressing job stress and job satisfaction in higher education
