The purpose of this study is to identify stress levels among school teachers and to compare stress levels based on demographic factors. There are 268 respondents sampled by teachers from individual schools in the Selangor area. A questionnaire was used, and a teacher’s workplace stress inventory and teacher’s workplace stress questionnaire was used as a tool. The study also found that high school teachers are more stressed in all stress factors that are associated with their parents, their colleagues, workloads, time constraints, student attitudes, recognition and support, and lack of resources than elementary school teachers. The result also showed that there was a significant difference in the average stress level for single and married teachers with an average difference (0.42, p <0.05). It is hoped that the findings will help relevant authorities develop effective stress management programs for teachers to prevent the negative effects of stress.
