Abstract

Both teachers and students are impacted by teacher professional well-being (TPWB), which is essential in education. Teachers nowadays are judged on their active participation in professional and social development in addition to the quality of their teaching-learning activities.Women in academics have the same obligations as males, however unlike men, women in India have a variety of tasks outside of the workplace. The research looked at library staff members' psychological health and work stress.It examined role ambiguity, role conflict, and physical work environment difficulties as well as role predictors of job stress in detail in order to ascertain how these factors relate to the psychological health of library employees at a few university libraries in Kalyana, Karnataka.The study was conducted using a survey research approach.There were 125 employees of the library.Total enumeration was used for sampling in order to accommodate all library employees. Data was gathered using a structured questionnaire. Frequency, percentage counts, and mean were used to analyse the obtained data.According to the overall results on workplace stress, respondents struggled with technology and had an excessive amount of work.  Role uncertainty caused job stress since the respondents were unsure about their level of power.According to the majority of respondents, role conflict did not lead to any stress at work. Additionally, they said their workplace was stress-free. The results of the hypothesis showed that the respondents' psychological well-being was positively and significantly correlated with job ambiguity, role conflict, and work environment.  In light of these conclusions, this research offered several suggestions.
