摘要:The purpose of this study is to measure the role of job stress among the academic staff of the public
universities of UAE. A survey was conducted among 350 academic staffs of the public universities
across UAE, concerning the trends of job stress and satisfaction and a possible relationship between
these two variables. Primary data analysis reveal that the public universities showed different directions
for varying forms of job stress. Moreover, five types of stressors were found to be significant
for the academic staff at the universities and when they were tested on job stress, the results
revealed the significant impact on job stress. More specifically, pay, and growth stressors as well
as work-related stressors were found to negatively influence job stress for the academic staff. Future
research of time series analysis can be conducted to understand the trends of stress under different
situations over time for academic staff.
