“…With the shouldering of more responsibilities at both personal and professional level would automatically invite the stress in the way proportionally. The results displayed analogy to the findings of Kabito & Wami (2020); Valkov & Peeva (2020) & Praveen Kumar et al, (2022).…”

The study was conducted in two colleges of Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar viz. College of Agriculture and College of Agricultural Engineering, Bhubaneswar in 2019 to measure occupational stress of teachers working in the university. Total hundred number of respondents viz. sixty from college of agriculture and forty from college of agricultural engineering were selected following complete enumeration method. Data was collected from the respondents by implementing personal interview method. Profile characteristics of respondents, distribution of respondents according to student’s behaviour, distribution of respondents according to occupational stress, association of occupational stress with the profile characteristics of teachers, the gap between role performance and role expectation of teachers were measured. Educational qualification and present job experience found to be positively correlated with occupational stress of teachers. The maximum gap between the role expectation and role performance of teachers of OUAT was found for the factor; opportunity to earn money, wealth and property followed by delegation of authority, whereas minimum gap was observed in case of job security. Total deviation of 23.97 per cent was found between role expectation and role performance of teachers of OUAT.

“…In our case, the increased stress and frustration related to the lack of professional recognition in terms of remuneration, social recognition, and career opportunities together with the increased level of cynicism are what burdens teachers in this profile the most. Moreover, teachers' stress related to financial compensation was also identified among Bulgarian teachers ( 60 ), Slovak teachers ( 61 ), Greek teachers ( 62 ) and Turkish teachers ( 63 ) in the pandemic period. Thus, these challenging times seem to accentuate even more teachers' frustration related to professional recognition, especially in some European countries.…”

The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to identify distinct burnout profiles of teachers and to examine their association with work-related stressors, such as workload, students' misbehavior, classroom resources, professional recognition needs and poor colleague relations, as well as socio-demographic variables. Survey data were collected from 330 kindergarten and primary school teachers (84 males, Mage = 38.3, SD = 9.14). The latent profile analysis revealed four distinct profiles. The antecedents of teacher burnout (TB) profiles were the stress generated by workload, students' misbehavior, and low professional recognition. The socio-demographic variables, with the exception of gender, were covariates of the TB profiles. The findings implies that career opportunities prospects, classroom management and time-management programs may be useful in preventing teacher burnout.

“…Academics undergo a considerable amount of strain to produce quality skill sets and employable, socially engaged and business-minded students who can influence society positively (Oforka, 2020). Further, they need to take charge of their work and be accountable, to provide scientific guidance, carry out administrative work and publish articles (Valkov & Peeva, 2020). These objectives cannot be accomplished if there are low satisfaction levels and high stress levels among academics (Jawabri et al, 2019).…”

Orientation: Stress in the workplace is a common phenomenon that is classified in different ways and which also impacts academics. Previous research highlighted that job stressors in the workplace have been considered an important contributor towards low levels of job satisfaction (JS) for academics. This perspective aids the study of the influence of job stress on JS.Research purpose: The aim of this research was to establish the influence of role conflict (RC), role ambiguity (RA), role overload (RO) and time pressure (TP) on work tension (WT) and the influence of WT on JS among academics at a university of technology.Motivation for the study: The impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the reduction of government and associated agency funding changed the scenario of academic life from being considered idyllic, autonomous and well protected. Congruent to these constraints, changes in the diversity of students and advances in technology, blended learning and the introduction of learning platforms created further challenges in the way students learn and how modules were offered.Research approach/design and method: The researchers used a postpositivist quantitative paradigm with a convenience sample (n = 250) of academics in a university of technology in Gauteng. A structured questionnaire encompassing the study constructs was used.Main findings: Results showed positive associations between RC, RA, RO and TP on WT. Further, WT and JS showed negative yet significant predictive relationships with JS.Practical/managerial implication: It is pivotal for universities to understand the effects of job stressors on job satisfaction to improve the working conditions for academics.Contribution/value-add: This research provides findings to the present body of knowledge among academics on the influence of job stressors on WT and WT on JS at HEIs. Research on job stress and JS has been of interest in many HEIs. The research makes a valuable contribution to the university management, especially the human resource division, on the effect of levels of job stressors (RC, RA, RO and TP) on WT among academics.
