AB  - This study examined the impact of work
experience on work stress among university academic
administrators in South-East, Nigeria. One research
question and one null hypothesis guided the study. The
study adopted a descriptive survey research design The
population of the study comprised 876 academic
administrators in both federal and state universities in
South-East, Nigeria. The sample for the study was the
entire population because of its manageable size. Selfreport
questionnaire titled Work Stress of Academic
Administrators Questionnaire (WSAAQ) was used to
collect data. The instrument was validated by three
academic experts and was trial-tested to establish its
internal consistency. Cronbach Alpha method was used to
compute the reliability of the instrument. The
questionnaire was administered using direct delivery and
retrieval method. The research question and hypothesis
were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and t-test.
The findings of the study show that there is no significant
difference between the mean ratings of academic
administrators of universities with regard to the impact of
work stress on job performance based on work
experience. Recommendations were made which include
that government at all level should endeavour to provide
an enabling environment to employees to reduce the
shock of work stress that they do pass through.
