Occupational stress is one of the critical elements that influences the health and efficiency of the organizations, especially the teachers and, more so, the primary school teachers. This research looks into the consequence of work-related stress for primary school teachers in one of the educational zones in Walapane, Sri Lanka. To carry out this study, data from 107 teachers through a self-administered questionnaire was collected. The research found that work-family conflicts and health impacts are the reason for 34.2% of the variance in occupational stress levels. Nevertheless, 65.8% of occupational stress data remain unexplained, suggesting other influencing factors such as level of workplace engagements, absenteeism, chronic stress, and stress at the workplace. The conclusion calls for stress exercising measures, innovative yoga, meditation, sports, and ‘working-oriented’ systems to enhance work-life balance. It suggests certain organisational implementation measures aimed at enhancing working conditions.
