Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
In the recent times, the rising incidence of stress and work pressures amongst the academics due to a variety of factors has led to an increased importance of research regarding the issues faced by university teaching faculties. Work life balance is a significant issue which requires attention to enhance teacher effectiveness as well as satisfaction. Various studies across the world have proved that a good quality of worklife balance results into the wellness of the faculty and also improved student learning outcomes. Work-related stress has been variously identified as one of the largest problems in any working environment. According to a study by Kinman & Jones (2003), job stress has often been linked with adverse effects on employees’ psychological and physical wellbeing in many occupations, including academics. The present study investigates the changing dimensions of the concept of quality of work-life and the issues of work related stress among teachers serving in different academic stream across universities on the basis of review of relevant literatures.
