Higher Education Faculty/Staff and Stress - Differences Among Women and Men

Readers,

Here is an interesting table focused on stress and the female faculty member. Just look at the differences between male and female faculty members and stress in higher education. Here's the interesting aspect, I do not see ANYTHING related to roles outside of work - family, church, community service, etc.

Percentage Reporting Some or Extensive Stress Related to Certain Job Duties

Duty/Issue Creating Stress	Men	Women
Teaching load	47.5	57.9
Students	49.7	65.8
Research and publishing	67.1	85.7
Review and promotion	44.8	65.3
Committee work	61.6	74.7

Do these percentages coincide with your experiences in higher education (either as a male or female)?

Sincerely,

J. Edwards
