A Statistical Study on Stress Management in Self-Financing Engineering Colleges

Abstract

Stress affects teaching faculty of these engineering institutions, and now-a-days engineering institutions face stress as a big problem. In the work environment stress occurs due to demand that exceeds the individuals’ coping ability, disrupting their psychological equilibrium. A clever understanding of the inter-relationship of the various facets of stress in an engineering institution offers the opportunity for the employers to develop efficient coping strategies to manage the stress level of the employees. There is a lack of extensive research on stress management of higher educational institutions. At the same time, there is an apparent lack of interest towards stress management among self-financing engineering institutions even today. Hence this study seeks to explore the stress management of teaching faculty in self-financing engineering institutions in Kanyakumari District of Tamil Nadu.
