ABSTRACT Majority teachers believe that teaching is not only challenging work, but also stressful. Stress due to inadequate administrative support, long working hours, lack of involvement in decision-making, paperwork burdens, peer pressure, and team politics can put stress on faculty in decision-making. Therefore, the key in life is to recognize stress and deal with it before it negatively affects our health. Stress is defined as a state of mental or emotional discomfort or discomfort that occurred because of this study. The purpose of this study was to provide faculty with an in-depth understanding of major work-related causes and to assess the extent to which these stressors contribute to overall workplace stress.
