Occupational stress is the stress that an employee experiences due to his occupation. It is also called as Work Stress. Stress is the response of the body in a threatening situation. The objective of the study is to find out the relationship between emotional intelligence and occupational stress among secondary school teachers. In the present study, the sample consists of 60 secondary school teachers’ from Hyderabad within the age range of 20 to 60 years. They were divided into 30 teachers with high emotional intelligence and 30 with low emotional intelligence using emotional intelligence scale by Shutte, 1998. Then, the occupational stress index was administered to these two groups. Correlational Analysis and t-ratio was used to test the significant difference between both groups. The result shows that there is a difference of occupational stress levels in the two groups. It was proved that teachers with low emotional intelligence have high levels of occupational stress and the teachers with high emotional intelligence have low levels of occupational stress.

The investigator used the ‘test-retest’ method in establishing the reliability of the tool on emotional intelligence. The responses of both the test and retest were scored and the Correlation Coefficient of 0.74 was found between the test and retest. The means score value of male teachers 55.15 and the means score value of female teachers is 56.64. The table value 1.96 is lesser than the calculated value t value.

The present study aims to identify the informative clinical and psychological variables for assessing the risk of emotional burnout syndrome among secondary school teachers. The relevance of the discussed issues is justified by statistical data of burnout among teachers and its consequences. Eighty-two teachers of secondary schools in Moscow, Chekhov and Saratov aged 21 to 66 years (average age of the group 46.81 ± 10.19) took part in the study. The diagnostic complex included methods for assessing the degree of emotional burnout; revealing the manifestations of stress; determining the features of emotional intelligence; analysis of empathic tendencies; self-assessment of the level of ontogenetic reflection; as well as determining indicators of a symptomatic response to stressful situations. The prognostic value of the indicators of the following questionnaires was revealed: Test for occupational stress, Symptomatic questionnaire SCL-90-R, Comprehensive assessment of manifestations of stress Yu.V. Shcherbatykh, D.V. Lyusin Emotional Intelligence Test, Self-assessment of the level of ontogenetic reflection. It was concluded that when assessing the psychological state of the teacher, it is necessary to pay attention to the indicators reflecting the symptomatology and intensity of experienced distress; emotional experiences corresponding to negative affective states. It is also necessary to take into account indicators reflecting the level of professional stress and the ability to analyze one’s past experience in terms of its success/failure. The combination of high scores on the scales “general index of severity of symptoms” and “self-assessment of the level of ontogenetic reflection” indicate the risk of developing burnout syndrome in teachers. In addition, the risk of emotional burnout can be talked about when, according to the results of psychodiagnostic examination, high scores are found on the scales “general index of severity of symptoms”, “occupational stress” and low scores on the scale “hostility”.

Due to the changes in society and the new era of “super-diversity” (Vertovec, 2007) in European countries, intercultural competence is gaining importance both in everyday life situations and teacher training. In the academic year of 2014/2105, a research was conducted on a sample of 136 prospective secondary school teachers undergoing their pedagogical-didactical-methodological training in different universities in the Republic of Croatia. The tool that was employed in the self-assessment of intercultural competence was called Recognising intercultural competence: What shows that I am interculturally competent? The results showed that the examinees perceive their intercultural competence quite high; attitudes (M = 4,09); skills (M = 4,12); knowledge (M = 4,02). There is no significant difference between the perceived dimensions (p = ,282). Further research is recommended to better understand the insights about the examinees’ understanding of intercultural competence.
