Occupational stress is a noticeable and widespread aspect of contemporary businesses. The right amount of stress may motivate someone and boost performance, while too much stress results in poor performance. One of the jobs with the highest stress is teaching. Psychiatric disorders can result from excessive stress. The study's goal is to identify the main factors contributing to junior college lecturers' stress. The present study involves 79 lecturers from private junior colleges (43 male and 36 female). Two sections (Part A & B) make up the questionnaire. Part-A contains demographic data on junior college lecturers, and Part-B has nine stress-related factors against which lecturers have to give ranking from most stress factor 1 to least stress factor 9.
