Abstract :
This study aimed at finding the relationship between organizational health and teacher stress in the government run boys' high schools in Delfan. The method of research was descriptive and correlational. One hundred thirty teachers were randomly selected from 200 teachers and were asked to complete the Organizational Health Inventory (OHI), and the Job Stress questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and statistical tests (Pearson correlation, regression & one-way ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that there is a negative and significant correlation (r=-.248, p=.05) between the variables. Also, a stepwise regression was used to predict job stress of the teachers from organizational health. It was found that from organizational health components, consideration, and institutional integrity as predictor variables, can enter the final regression equation for explaining job stress of the teachers of the high schools in Delfan and it was found that the consideration component is a better explainer than the structural integrity component. In addition, a one-way ANOVA between job stress of the teachers in different demographic group (education level) showed that there is not a significant relationship between them.
