Occupational stress in higher education

The higher education sector is one of the most important sectors. It is very important to determine the factors which might affect the organisational performance and one of these is the occupation stress. Job stressors affect the productivity and efficacy of the staff both at the short and long terms which will ultimately affect the students negatively. The performance of the staff, both as teachers and researchers and also as managers, determines to a large extent, the quality of the student experience of higher education and has a significant impact on student learning and thereby on the contribution that such institutions can make to society
