Özet
This study aimed to examine the teachers’ stress levels, social-emotional competence
levels, and relationships. The participants of this study were 135 English Language
Teachers who work in state or private schools in Mersin. The presented data was
acquired from the ―Teacher Stress Inventory‖ and "The Social-Emotional Competence
Teacher Rating Scale‖. Besides the instruments, the demographic characteristics of the
participants were gathered to analyse their effects on their stress levels and SEC levels.
As the data was collected, it was analysed by using SPSS. The finding indicated that
teachers’ stress levels ranged between ―Mild to Moderate‖ while SEC levels revealed
that it was between ―Moderate to High‖. Following that, the correlation analysis
revealed that there was no significant relationship between teachers' overall stress levels
and SEC levels; however, regarding the sub-factors, there were several significant
relationships. Consequently, for the benefit of both teachers and their students, it is
crucial to continue exploring personality characteristics that may reduce stress and
increase SEC levels of teachers. The study's conclusions are meant to draw attention to
and reevaluate working conditions while also highlighting the value of SEC and SEL.
