Effect of Extra Duties on the Psychological Wellbeing of the Teachers

    Teachers in Pakistan face additional responsibilities like election, polio vaccination, and administrative tasks, which negatively impact their students' academic performance. Thus the current research investigates the correlation between the additional duties assigned to teachers and their levels of stress and burnout, and the impact of extra duties on the psychological well-being and job satisfaction of teachers. A descriptive survey method was used, with 130 teachers from government secondary and higher secondary schools selected through cluster sampling. A questionnaire was used to identify problems faced by teachers, with validity assessed through expert opinions and reliability measured through pilot testing using SPSS. The study proposed that clear guidelines and expectations regarding extra duties to ensure that teachers understand their responsibilities and workload should be established, resources such as additional training, professional development opportunities, and administrative assistance to help teachers manage their workload effectively for a healthy work-life balance.
