Previous studies have attempted to address this problem using mostly psychological and medical interventions with little emphasis on the degree of assistance available within the social and institutional networks in the university work environment. The study, therefore, examined the combined influence of workplace environmental factors (work load. role ambiguity/conflict and class size), social (career advice. connectedness and provision of feedbacks) and institutional (research assistance, promotion, collegiality. protection, friendship and opportunity) supports on the management of stress among academic staff in federal universities in the South-west.
