Abstract
This study aimed to know the correlation between professional identity and psychological stress among a sample of teachers in the Sultanate of Oman. The sample consisted of (400) male and female teachers. The researcher used the descriptive correlative approach, and the researcher used two scales: the professional identity scale, and the psychological stress scale. The results showed the existence of a negative correlation with statistical significance between professional identity and psychological stress at the level of the total degree and at the level of dimensions except for the (academic) dimension in psychological stress and the dimension (social modeling) in professional identity, where the negative relationship was not statistically significant, The results also showed that there were statistically significant differences in favor of females in the total scale of professional identity and all its dimensions except for the dimension (social comparison and restoration of self-esteem), while there were no statistically significant differences in professional identity due to the experience variable on the scale as a whole and on its dimensions except for the dimension (picture). professional self), where there are differences in favor of years of experience (more than 15 years). The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in psychological stress according to the gender variable in the total scale and all its dimensions except for the (psychological) dimension in favor of females, as well as the presence of statistically significant differences in the overall scale and in its five dimensions due to the experience variable in favor of years of experience (more than 15 years), as it became clear that the impact of psychological stress on them is less compared to other years of experience.
