Abstract
Occupational stress research is often focused on the individual without adequate consideration of the organisation or environment in which the person works. Schools exemplify organisations which provide a variety of working conditions and the sample of schools in this survey included government and non-government schools from areas of contrasted socioeconomic status. Analyses of questionnaire responses indicated that teachers working in different types of schools report different levels of occupational stress. More particularly, the salience of perceived stressors, levels of role conflict, role ambiguity and social support were found to differ according to school type.
