Secondary school principals in Nsukka education zone of Enugu state perform multi-faceted tasks which seems to result to occupational stress. This occupational stress appears to cause principals’ pains, unpleasantness, restlessness, dizziness, tension, fatigue discomfort among others which adversely affect their well-being and also interfere with the performance of their managerial roles in secondary schools in Nsukka education zone of Enugu State.

The population of the study comprised all the 60 public secondary school principals in Nsukka education zone of Enugu state and all were used for the study due to the relatively and manageable size. A 17-item researchers developed instrument titled ‘‘Causes of Occupational Stress and Principals Copping Strategies Questionnaire (COSPCSQ)’’ was used for data collection.
