Abstract

Teaching in the modern academic environment is more complex, which makes it necessary to examine the challenges Kerala’s self-finance institutions arts and science institutes’ staff members are experiencing. This study investigates workplace stress among academic staff in self-financing arts and science institutes in Kerala. It analyses stress management techniques, including wellbeing initiatives and emotional intelligence training, and identifies the main stressors based on knowledge management (KM). The goal of the study is to improve faculty members’ performance and wellbeing in these institutions by providing information regarding relevant stress-reduction techniques that are specific to KM. The factors causing workplace stress have been measured as (a) demographic factors, (b) institutional factors and (c) psychological factors. Also, the stress management activities for the faculty members were considered a wellbeing programme, emotional intelligence, training and development. Initially, data collection was performed and 156 faculty members worked in arts and science self-financing colleges of the Kerala district. For a survey, in accordance with the proposed hypothesis, a systematic questionnaire has been created and sent to the faculty members who operate in Kerala. Moreover, statistical tests were performed on the gathered data using structural equation modelling (SEM) techniques. This investigation has revealed the characteristics that affect the faculty and staff working for an organisation in terms of workplace stress and excellent fit. The findings reveal that demographic demographics, institutional issues and stress management strategies influence faculty members in Kerala’s arts and self-finance colleges.
