Abstract

Objective: This sort to determine the predictors of stress and the coping mechanism practiced
among lecturers of tertiary institutions in Abuja, Nigeria.
Methodology: The study employed a cross-sectional survey design and it adopted the simple
balloting and purposive sampling. A 33-item semi-structured questionnaire was validated at
Cronbach alpha 0.82. Data collected were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23 to compute
descriptive and inferential statistics which were statistically tested at a 5% level of significance.
Results: Mean age of respondents was 36±0.9, 120 (32%). The level of knowledge on stress among
respondents was below average 157 (42.0%). The respondent’s attitude revealed that majority had
negative attitudinal disposition to stress 231 (61.8%). Lecturers’ environmental reinforcing factor
was recorded as 246 (65.8%). Enabling factors that enhance teaching were identified to be
insufficient within the tertiary institutions was recorded 249 (66.6%) and the stress coping mechanism
was above average performance 234 (62.6%). There is significant relationship between Attitudinal
disposition of respondents towards stress coping mechanism p=0.000, R=0.317 and Enabling factors
that promote stress and stress coping mechanism p=0.000, R=0.103. There is sufficient statistical
evidence to conclude that enabling factors was the most predicting variable among the two
independent variables. r2=0.103, p=0.000.
Conclusion: Training and seminars to address the personal predisposing factors can enhance
better coping mechanism and increase knowledge on stress. An adjustment to enabling factors can
reinforce the delivery of service.
