A role or social role is a different set of societal responsibilities and expectations of behaviour based on situations which one encounters (O’Connor & Mac Donald, 2002). People fulfill numerous roles in their lives, which create conflict for them. These conflicts originate out from their role in family, religion, or personal beliefs. Role conflict can affect the teacher adversely and it often create a role conflict in them (Millslagle & Morley, 2004). The pressure that full-time teachers/coaches face has frequently been researched in order to identify the underlying causes of stress between the two roles of teachers and coach (Ryan, 2008). The present investigator tried to examine the status of role conflict of teachers and to compare the status of role conflict of the male and female, experienced and inexperienced, trained and untrained teachers at the senior secondary schools in Sikkim. 103 teachers were randomly selected from Sikkim for the study. Role Conflict Test (RCT) developed by Prasad and Bhushan (1991) was used in the study. The present study showed that the status of role conflict of teachers was not equally distributed. No significant difference exists between male and female teachers, experienced and inexperienced teachers’ status of role conflict. And it was also revealed that there exists significant difference between role conflict of trained and untrained teachers in senior secondary schools.
