Stressors: A Challenge for the Faculty Members of the Higher Educational Institutions

Abstract

There is a lot of research in the area of stress. The studies consider that the stressors vary according to the environment. With the changing environment, the higher education institutions also need to develop their competitive advantage and hence make it challenging for the stakeholders, especially the faculty members to contribute towards the competitive advantage. This leads to stress amongst the faculty members. The current paper is an exploratory research to investigate the role stressors of the faculty members of various universities from different countries. The research is based on Organizational Role Stress Instrument of Udai Pareek (2002).
