AB  - This study investigated the impact of gender on
work stress among academic administrators in universities
in South-East, Nigeria. One research question and one
null hypothesis guided the study. The design adopted was
a descriptive survey. The population of the study
consisted of 786 universities academic administrators
from both federal and state universities in the study area.
The study sampled the whole population because of its
manageable size. The Work Stress of Academic
Administrators Questionnaire (WSAAQ) which consists
of thirty items enabled the researchers to gather data for
the study. The WSAAQ has four-point rating scale
ranging from strongly agreed (4 point) to strongly
disagreed (1 point) with Cronbach alpha of 0.90. The
WSAAQ was validated by three experts. The research
question and hypothesis were analyzed using mean,
standard deviation and t-test, respectively. The finding of
the study revealed that there was no significant between
male and female university academic administrators on
work stress experience in terms of job performance. The
government should employ both male and female at an
equal rate without bias of any kind.
