Abstract

There is a paucity of literature on the impacts of gender and location on the psychological well-being of agricultural science academic staff. This condition necessitated the use of an ex-post facto study with a sample of 46 University of Nigerian Agricultural Science and Education Academic Staff. The psychological wellbeing scale (α = .84) was used to collect data, which was based on the scientific research paradigm and quantitative research approach. The mean and t-test statistics were used to analyze the data. It was revealed that while gender had no significant impact on the academic staff’s psychological wellbeing, location had a significant impact on the academic staff’s psychological wellbeing. As a result, it was recommended that the university authority should make necessary accommodations to create a working environment that promotes the psychological wellbeing of academic staff irrespective of their location.

Abstract

Several studies have reported the prevalence of stressors and work- related conditions among educators in Nigerian school environments, but there are limited reports on the coping mechanisms of physics teachers. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT) on stress management among secondary school physics teachers. A randomized controlled group trial design was used, and the sample population comprised 64 physics teachers who served as participants. Pretest, posttest, and follow-up data were collected using the Job Stress Questionnaire (α=.73). The results showed that participants undergoing REBT experienced a significantly greater reduction in work- related stress compared to those in the control group. The findings of this study were expected to contribute to the knowledge base in measurement, counseling, and physics education. In addition, the incorporation of REBT programs was recommended to assist physics teachers in effectively managing their work-related stress.
