Abstract :
As a single educator, the possibility of
experiencing stress is high, especially when working
abroad. Educators are often buried with mass of
schoolwork, resulting in long-working hours extending
to their homes. Educator’s time revolves around their
professional work and leaving little to no time for their
personal development. Method: A qualitative approach
that uses phenomenological research design to
understand the lived experiences and behaviors of single
educators, specifically in Qatar, relative to the central
question: “What are the sources of stress of single
teachers who are currently employed in Qatar?” Data
were gathered through a twenty-five semi-structured
interview and were analyzed using an inductive
approach in theme development. Findings: Findings
have shown the different aspects of development that
educators encountered as they live as a single person.
Conclusion: Once individuals recognize their stressors, it
stimulates the initiative to create room for personal
growth. Acknowledging everyday stressors while looking
at the bigger picture of one’s life. Recommendation: to
have an equal number of younger and older respondents
to compare their experiences; to obtain more direct
responses related to the central problem of the study; to
select a wider range of teachers in different positions in
the school to know possible correlation to their stress
levels
