Although it has been argued for some time that workers in academia
have found their jobs to be highly satisfying, and in comparison
with other occupations, relatively stress free, numerous studies
have found high levels of stress in teachers. Attempts have also
been made to isolate the job characteristics and working conditions
that are considered the most stressful or have the strongest
relationships with negative outcomes. This book, therefore,
describes the levels and sources of stress and coping strategies of
faculty and staff at institutions of higher education and to
determine if these are related to some selected demographic
characteristics such as gender, age marital status, years of
employment and employment status. This book should provide
information that would help in fostering well-being of workers so
that they would not be too adversely affected by stress before
concerns are addressed. Additionally, to guarantee retention and
recruitment there is need to create this awareness.
