The purpose of the study was to examine and compare the occupational stress of male
and female secondary school heads in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. All the male and female
secondary school heads working in pubic secondary schools of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
constituted the population of the study. A total of 402 secondary school heads were
selected as sample through multistage sampling technique in which 260 were males
and 142 were females. Descriptive and quantitative survey research design was
used. To seek the responses from the participants, a standardized tool, Occupational
Stress Index (OSI) was used. For statistical analysis, proper descriptive statistics
that is mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics (independent samples
t-test) were employed through SPSS. The findings revealed that both male and
female secondary school heads were found occupationally stressed with respect to
work overload, role conflict, strenuous working conditions, unreasonable political
pressure, under participation, and unprofitability. Comparatively, there was no
significant difference between the overall occupational stress of male and female
secondary school heads. Based on findings, it was recommended that elementary
and secondary education department should collaborate with policymakers to
develop comprehensive strategies for stress reduction for secondary school heads
so that they may perform their duties effectively.
