The purpose of this quantitative simple linear regression study was to examine the degree to which the level of spirituality predicted the level of occupational stress among 105 middle school teachers. Specifically, this study examined the influence of spirituality, as measured by the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale on occupational stress as measured by the Teacher Stress Inventory. The regression results indicated that teachers' spirituality scores significantly predicted time-management stress and work-related stress among middle school teachers in Northeast Texas.
