Sources of Stress Among Faculty: Gender Differences

This study tests several hypotheses suggested in the literature about how faculty women and men differ in their reaction to work-related stress against the empirical results obtained from the National Faculty Stress study conducted by Gmelch, Wilke, and Lovrich in 1982. Results indicate that female faculty experience more stress in general than their male counterparts. Specifically, women set overly high self-expectations and manage time constraints differently.
