Job Stress and Stress Management Practices among University Faculty: an Empirical Study from a Management Perspective

Author(s) Mr. Manohar Nagappayya
Country India
Abstract Job stress has emerged as a critical organisational issue in higher education institutions, influencing faculty well-being, job satisfaction, and overall institutional effectiveness. University faculty members are required to balance multiple roles such as teaching, research, administrative responsibilities, and student mentoring, often under conditions of increasing performance expectations and limited resources. The present empirical study examines the level of job stress, major stressors, and preferred stress management practices among university faculty members. Using a descriptive and analytical research design, primary data were collected from 66 faculty members through a structured questionnaire. The data were analysed using descriptive statistical tools with the aid of SPSS. The findings reveal that faculty members experience moderate levels of job stress despite reporting high levels of job satisfaction, indicating the presence of functional stress. Workload, role expectations, and work–life balance were identified as the major sources of stress. Age and experience emerged as moderating factors influencing stress perception and coping ability. The study concludes that an integrated stress management approach combining individual coping strategies with organisational support mechanisms is essential for promoting faculty well-being and sustaining academic performance.
