Stratified random selection was used to choose a sample of 120 teachers for the study, which used a descriptive and correlational research methodology. Data was gathered using standardised instruments, including the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire and the Occupational Stress Scale. The results show that teachers had a moderate degree of job satisfaction and a moderate to high level of occupational stress. Occupational stress and job satisfaction were shown to have a strong negative connection (r = -0.62), suggesting that higher stress is associated with poorer job satisfaction. Gender-wise analysis shows that female teachers experience significantly higher stress, while male teachers report higher job satisfaction. The results highlight the impact of increased workload, administrative responsibilities, and socio-cultural factors, especially under the evolving demands of NEP 2020. The study underscores the need for supportive institutional mechanisms, stress management strategies, and gender-sensitive policies to enhance teacher well-being and effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Occupational Stress, Job Satisfaction, Primary School Teachers, NEP 2020, Murshidabad District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 183-190<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/183-190.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Dr. Ashis Sahoo DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04030025 Abstract: In light of the National Education Policy 2020, the current study examines the connection between job satisfaction and occupational stress among primary school teachers in the Murshidabad area.
