The teacher is expected to play a multifaceted role in the overall development of students, which makes a teacher's job much more challenging as well as stressful. Creating a conductive environment for a meaning and engaging student-teacher interaction requires the teacher to regulate his/her emotions in a manner with is favourable to a student's wellbeing. In the given competitive and highly demanding educational environment, this study attempts to understand the influence of stress on teacher's performance and the intervening role of EL. The study was conducted on teachers employed in university and colleges across India. The study revealed that DA has a more significant effect on stress in comparison to SA whereas stress strongly affects the EP. EL is one of the crucial factors in creating stress. Our research enriches the existing literature by exploring EL, stress and EP in the perspective of teachers in higher education.
