All of us rich and poor, young and old, big
and small - are experiencing one or the other kind of
stress. Teaching is identified as a particularly
stressful occupation. Some aspects of the job such
as disciplinary problems, student apathy, over
crowded class rooms, involuntary transfers,
excessive paperwork, inadequate salaries and lack
of administrative support are among the stressors
that confront teachers. Teachers in the cadre of the
Professor may be having more stress because of lot
of work & responsibilities it may lead to lower job
satisfaction. Keeping this in view the present research
was undertaken to compare the level of stress among
the professors of College of the Agriculture,
Rajendranagar, Hydearabad.

returned the filled up questionnaire and these were
taken for this study. Ex-post facto research design
