The world is changing at an overwhelming speed. Everyone experiences stress, whether it is personal, professional or economic. Stress has become an important concern in the life of everyone, and is hard to avoid. The level of organisational stress experienced by individuals, often depends on the nature and demands of the professional setting. The study of stress among teachers has become a topic of interest with changes being introduced in the education system and the new generation of students with varied interests. Teacher’s stress has been defined as the experience of unpleasant negative emotions such as anger, frustration, anxiety, depression and nervousness, by a teacher resulting from some aspect of their work (Kyriacou 1987). The study on Identification and Measurement of Stress levels of College teachers with special reference to Gender and Generational Differences was conducted on a random sample of 217 (58 males and 159 females) degree college teachers of Chandigarh and Panchkula. The stress levels have been measured on the basis of gender and generational differences especially taking into consideration Generation X and Generation Y teachers. From the analysis it is clear that majority of the teachers experience stress in their work but there are no major differences in terms of gender. The level of stress experienced by Generation Y teachers has been found out to be higher as compared to the Generation X college teachers.
