The study conducted a stratified random sampling with job stress scale and leisure participation scale. First of all, a total of 480 questionnaires were distributed; 468 were returned and 465 were valid questionnaires. The effective response rate was 97%. Furthermore, the study also conducted data processing with descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA and Scheffe Post-Hoc comparisons, Pearson correlation statistical methods. Finally, the research results are shown as follows. 1. The work stress of elementary school teachers in Kaohsiung is on the degree of “lower middle,”and the strongest feeling is "workload." 2.
