The purpose of this study was to determine the factorial validity of the Teacher Occupational Stress Factor Questionnaire (Clark,1980). Factors interpreted emerged from use of a principal components factor analysis rotated to oblique solutions. The results of this study provided partial support for the construct validity of the instrument. However, item rearrangement resulted in changing the composition of three of the five factors of the original instrument. The new arrangement was thought to provide data for investigating teacher stress. Factors were renamed in light of the findings.
