| description | <p dir="ltr">This study explores the occupational stress experienced by female academics in Qatar’s higher education sector, framed through a transactional stress perspective. By examining the intersection of socio-cultural gender expectations and professional demands unique to academia, the study provides insights into how stress manifests and is managed within this field. Data from 15 in-depth semi-structured interviews with female academics reveals critical stressors and coping mechanisms. Findings highlight two main dimensions of stress – work overload and work-home conflict – intensified by societal expectations and compounded by the unique pressures of academia. Six key moderators – perceived organisation support, organisational skills, experience, work passion, support systems, and personality traits – shape stress perception and coping in the academic context. This research extends transactional stress theory by incorporating socio-cultural and gender-specific dynamics, shedding light on how female academics in the Middle East experience stress and offers a framework of how cultural dynamics influence occupational stress in academia.</p><h2 dir="ltr">Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/1360080x.2025.2487925" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/1360080x.2025.2487925</a></p> |
