“…Similar finding was reported in a study involving frontline nurses exposed to excessive workload due to the pandemic and the higher risk of adverse mental health disorder due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [52] Esteban et al [53] also found in their study that workload significantly influences psychological distress and satisfaction with life among female Peruvian university professors who are also housewives. This implies that to mitigate mental health disorder, stress, burnout, and anxiety, efforts have to be channeled to moderating the impact of workload on employees for efficient output in the workplace.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the global workloads and general well-being of employees, especially in the university system. The object of this study is to evaluate the mental health and effect of increase in workload on the general well-being of the administrative staff of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, on the resumption of academic activities after the lockdown due to COVID-19. A total of 73 randomly selected administrative staff were involved in the study. Three sets of instruments, the demographic questionnaire, National Aeronautics and Space Administration-Task Load Index, and General Health Questionnaire, were used to obtain information on the demographic characteristics, workload, and level of mental disorder among the respondents due to COVID-19. The generalized linear regression model, 1-way analysis of variance, independent samples t test, and contingency coefficient were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that high workload is significantly associated with high risk of mental and general health disorders among the respondents. The married, divorced, widowed, older, and females staff with >2 children are the most vulnerable to mental disorder, physical workload, frustration, and general health challenges. The younger staff, those with at most 2 children, and those who are still single experience lower mental and general health disorder and are more resilient. Significant and comprehensive health and administrative support should be provided for the overall well-being of the staff.

“…The review in Table 1 indicates that 21 studies show the linkage between job demand on mental health among academicians in higher education. Most of studies reviewed are related to job demand in the context of the higher education institutions from a quantitative perspective (Teixeira, Marqueze & Moreno, 2020;Zhang et al, 2022;Brondino et al, 2022;Springer et al, 2023;Damayanti et al, 2020;Alwaely & Jarrah, 2020;Awang et al, 2021;Akunne et al, 2021;Kabito et al, 2020;Hussin et al, 2022;Jonge & Huter, 2021;Anees et al, 2021;Isa & Palpanadan, 2020;Mohamed et al, 2021;Shen & Slater, 2021;Adebayo, 2022;Nasution et al, 2022;Esteban et al, 2022;Almhdawi et al, 2021;Liu & Yan, 2020).…”

“…Some of the studies argued that academic staff with high workloads negatively affect their well-being (Shen & Slater, 2021: Zhang et al, 2022. Furthermore, studies show that academicians in higher education institutions have a high stress level (Hussin et al, 2021;Kabito et al, 2020;Esteban et al, 2022;Almdawi et al, 2021). Moreover, academicians in South Africa (Naidoo-Chetty & du Plessis, 2021) and China (Zhang et al, 2022) revealed that challenges encountered in the academic setting were caused by job demands such as unfavorable working circumstances, restricted opportunities for career advancement, elevated levels of work overload, and inadequate resources.…”

Due to the nature of the demanding working circumstances, most academicians at higher education institutions have therefore been vulnerable to experiencing mental health issues. This present study aims to investigate the prominent factors that influence academics' mental health in higher education through systematic reviews. In detail, this study is intended to analyze the trends, patterns, and knowledge gaps on the factors affecting mental health. Using the PRISMA protocol to identify and analyze datasets from the Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. In this present study, twenty-one papers were selected and analyzed. The findings indicate a robust influence of job demand on mental health among academicians in higher education. These review papers reveal that there is an increasing amount of research on the factors influencing the mental health of academicians in higher education. The findings highlight a worrying pattern of increasing job pressures and an increase in the frequency of mental health issues among academicians. Thus, there is a critical need for focused treatments and academic support networks to mitigate the increasing demands placed on faculty members and protect their mental health. This study contributes to the literature by focusing on mental health, primarily the job demands of academicians in the context of higher education institutions.

“…Tingkat kejadian distres pada mereka lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan yang tidak merasakan penambahan beban kerja dengan kejadian distres tertinggi terdapat pada sub-kelompok informal (89.6%). Pada penelitian yang dilakukan pada wanita yang bekerja sebagai profesor di Peru didapatkan hubungan yang positif antara beban kerja dan distres psikologis dan kedua hal tersebut dapat memengaruhi secara negatif terhadap kepuasan hidup (Carranza Esteban et al, 2022).…”

Pandemi COVID-19 memengaruhi psikologis masyarakat di seluruh dunia, termasuk pekerja non-kesehatan. Stres, kecemasan, dan ketakutan memicu terjadinya distres psikologis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti kejadian distres psikologikal pada populasi pekerja non-kesehatan yang bekerja di kota Jabodetabek dengan membaginya menjadi sub-kelompok formal dan informal. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross-sectional dengan menghubungkan distres psikologis dengan sosiodemografi, lingkungan kerja, dan tindakan pencegahan individu penyebaran COVID-19. Pekerja non-kesehatan di sub-kelompok formal berjumlah 281 orang dan informal sebanyak 83 orang. Distres psikologis sedikit lebih banyak dialami oleh pekerja sub-kelompok informal (83.1%). Wanita menjadi individu yang paling tinggi mengalami distres (83.6%). Frekuensi masuk kerja berhubungan dengan kejadian distres pada sub-kelompok formal (p=0.001) dan informal (p=0.04). Variabel lingkungan kerja yang berhubungan dengan kejadian distres adalah keamanan (p=0.037), konflik (0.034), menerima resiko (0.041), stres kerja (0.001 dan 0.004), kepuasan (0.013), dan sarana dan prasarana pencegahan COVID-19 (0.027). Tindakan pencegahan yang berhubungan dengan kejadian distres adalah penggunaan peralatan makan sendiri (p=0.019 dan 0.021). Penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa frekuensi bekerja di tempat kerja berpengaruh terhadap kejadian distres pekerja formal dan informal. Tindakan untuk mencegah distres psikologi pekerja adalah memerhatikan keamanan, konflik, resiko tertular COVID-19, stres kerja, kepuasan hasil pekerjaan, dan penyediaan sarana dan prasarana pencegahan COVID-19 di tempat kerja.
