Abstract

The objectives of this study were to find out the common factors perceived by Babcock employees, who are also postgraduate students to cause stress to them; ascertain the effects of stress on them; and suggest practical ways by which Babcock University (BU) administration can reduce the stress level of the employees who are also students. Utilising the descriptive survey approach, this study investigated all academic and non-academic employees of Babcock University who were enrolled as students in Babcock University School of Post-Graduate Studies (BUSPGS) during the First Semester of 2010/2011 Academic Session (September-December 2010). A questionnaire, designed after the Likert-form rating, was used to collect data. A total of 80 copies of the questionnaire were distributed. Sixty-six (66) out of the 70 copies returned were valid and used. The findings from the study revealed that respondents are highly stressed by combining work with study. The factors that constitute stressors for the respondents are: general overload resulting from combining work with study, financial pressure, pressure of high volume of work, and not having adequate time to complete work and academic assignments. Consequently, the resultant effects of stress on the respondents are: being overworked, feeling tired and exhausted at the end of the day, and experiencing difficulty in meeting work and academic timelines. The study recommended that BU administration should grant one or two days off to non-academic employees who are also studying at the BUSPGS as well as implement the standing policy on a maximum of nine (9) units teaching load for academic staff who are also studying at BUSPGS.
