Sources of stress in Bordeaux University academics

摘要

This paper discusses the sources of stress in university on the strength of Institute Polytechnique de Bordeaux example. A web-based survey of occupational stressors using the checklist Academics' Occupational Stress Inventory - French version (AcadOSI-French) with 90 separable sources of pressure was conducted. In the theoretical perspective, the analysis of stressors follows Cooper and Marshall's concept of major categories of work stressors. By integrating the concept into a broader framework with the allocation of sources of stress on three levels - individual, work and organizational, and academic community level - it was possible to demonstrate the occupational stress profile of the university. Findings indicate that sources of stress in university are quite similar even in dissimilar academic cultures.
