This research is based on a study carried out at the Northern Caribbean University to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and job stress among teachers. According to French & Caplan (1972), stress at work is the result of a mismatch between an individual and their environment. Research Topic: “An Investigation of Related Job Stress and Job Satisfaction” Job Stress Among TeachersWork stress and related job satisfaction has been a topic studied by several researchers and now by me. The issue of stress in the teaching profession has raised serious concerns among both teachers and administrators (Schuster, 1986). Increasing stress has had a profound impact on teachers (Lease, 1999) and new faculty members (Oslen, 1993). Researchers have studied the source of many of these stressors that teachers face. The results of these findings indicated that time pressure (Coombs, 1998), high expectations of oneself, and job demands are some of the sources of these stressors. The intensity of these stressors prevented teachers from effectively maximizing their goals. High levels of stress in the school system have been found to have serious consequences on the health of faculty members (O'Connor, 2000). Furthermore, the intensity of these stressors has caused many teachers to leave their jobs or decrease their interest in productivity (Barnes, 1998). In June 2002, a truly surprising report was released by the National Association of Secondary School Principles in the United States. Their investigation focused on annual teacher turnover. They concluded in their findings that there was 11 percent of annual turnover for professions other than teaching; while an annual rate of 15.7 percent ...... middle of paper ...... teachers", Educational Research and Evaluation, Vol. 3, pp. 305-16.Shiel, G., Perkins, R. and Gilleece, L.
