The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between professional burnout and occupational stress due to intra & interpersonal interactions of teachers working at the state universities of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Rating Scales were administered on a sample of 955 teachers from 9 universities chosen by using Simple Random Sampling Technique. The statistical techniques employed were percentage, mean, SD, mean ± 1SD, and also correlations computed to analyze the obtained data. The results of the study shows that around 86% and 62.09% of university teachers are experiencing moderate and high levels of professional burnout and occupational stress respectively due to intra & interpersonal interactions. Correlation studies also revealed a significant positive relationship between professional burnout and occupational stress due to intra & interpersonal interactions. It is observed that job stress and burnout has multiple causes, and so as to have multiple solutions.
