Abstract
Although high level of stress has been observed in teachers generally, the higher education sector is a relatively new focus of concern. It has been recognized that organizational change can be the significant cause of occupational stress. Over the past 10 - 20 years, our Indian Higher Education has undergone a more profound reorientation than any other system. The most obvious symptom of change in the sector has been the move towards mass higher education. There has not been corresponding increase in the numbers of academic teaching and support staff. Student staff ratio is now 15:1.There are a lot of colleges coming up. But the pay of the teaching staff member is not up to the mark and Administrative workload is more for the teaching staff members. The widespread changes in the policy and practices have led to a significant increase in workload and job related pressures for many academic staff. This has not been accompanied by a corresponding increase in human and technical resources.
