Abstract
This research aims to develop an indigenous scale of stress for Government primary school teachers. The
research was conducted in three phases. In first phase, stressors of teachers were explored through semi
structured interviews with equal number of both genders (N=10). Afterwards, over-lapping stressors were
eliminated. In phase II, content validity of stressors list was established through ratings of 10 experts
(Clinical Psychologists and Senior Educationists). In phase III, main study was done. Permission was taken
prior to data collection. Demographic form along with indigenously developed stress scale for primary
school teachers (SSPST) was administered on sample (N=306) of Government primary school teachers
(men, n = 150 and women, n = 150). Results show Mean of the SSPST (M=106.30, SD=38.0) with
Cronbach alpha of .95. Total 5 factors of SSPST emerged which were : Lack of Resources, Workload,
Physical and Psychological effects, Job Stress, Insulting Attitude of Colleagues. SSPST will be a reliable
