The present study is an attempt to examine the gender differences in stress and coping behavior among school (Govt and Public) teachers both males and females (n=200) at Primary as well as Secondary level. To measure stress, level Teacher Stress Survey (Malik, 1993) was used and coping behavior was observed by using Cope inventory (Carver, Scheier and weintraub in 1989).Coping behavior was assessed at two levels 1) Problem focused coping and 2) Emotion Focused Coping behavior. The results indicated that job related stress is significantly and positively related to problems with regard to students, parents, administration and to other teachers for the total sample as well as for both males and females.
