Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the impact of professional stress on job satisfaction among Palestinian English language teachers. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, data was collected from (65) teachers through a validated questionnaire. The results showed that professional stress significantly affects job satisfaction, with excessive workloads, insufficient vacation time, and overcrowded workplaces identified as key stressors. No significant differences were found in stress levels or job satisfaction based on gender, school type, or years of experience. The study concludes with recommendations to improve teachers' work conditions, such as enhancing vacation policies, increasing salaries, and reducing unnecessary tasks.
