However, despite the inclusion of non work factors as potential stressors, only a few empirical studies have investigated the relationship of non work stressors with job stressors (Cooper and Marshall 1976, 1978; Ivancevich and Matteson, 1980).
Researchers have noted that "life stresses were associated with decreased satisfaction and increased job stress, job alienation and turn over". (Bhagat et al., 1985 and Sarason and Johnson 1979).

The review regarding stress and theoretical background revealed that various authors have pointed out the four variants of stress namely Eustress, Distress, Hyperstress and Hypostress. The three models of stress namely stimulus based response based and systems models of stress seem relevant to the present study. The effects of stress are the manifestations of stress such as physiological, psychological and behavioural. Even though stress-effects have become major concerns of psychological, medical and management investigators, the potential of understanding stress in teaching professionals has yet not been
