Abstract
This study sought to establish the differences in occupational stress across socio-demographic characteristics of secondary school teachers in Greater Bushenyi, Uganda through the cross sectional research design. The researchers sampled 33 out of 160 public and private secondary schools through the systematic sampling procedures. From those, 266 were sampled out of 672 teachers. Using descriptive statistics, t-test and ANOVA, the study established that teachers under investigation experienced the occupational stress moderately. The finding was quite similar to previous studies which indicated gender as a determining factor for teachers’ occupational stress. The moderately experienced occupational stress, calls for intervention strategies since if not treated earlier it may develop into higher stress levels which may interfere with teachers’ academic performance in their schools.
