摘要：Teachers in Malaysia are suffering from stress, and this issue must be tackled seriously by all interested parties. As teachers play a role in producing good and effective citizen, their stress must be studied and understood. Therefore, this study advocates for a new stress index for Malaysian teachers to better understand teachers' stress. This paper aims to present the findings on teachers' stressors unearthed during the interview with the teachers regarding teachers’ stress. In this step, twenty-nine teachers from primary and secondary schools were interviewed to validate the initial constructs of teachers’ stressors during the construct definition step, the first step in the Fuzzy-Delphi method. Based on the interview’s findings, the interview has corroborated the construct defined in literature research and added two new sub-themes to the stressors’ construct. The study concluded that conducting a study on stress through the Fuzzy-Delphi method is crucial because the Fuzzy-Delphi method is a rigorous process to ensure that an index developed would yield high validity and reliability.
