Czy różne stresory wpływają na wydajność pracy kadr uczelni publicznej?

This comparative study examines varying types of stress affecting university personnel’s working efficiency in Pakistan and the UK. Total 320 employees (160 from each economy) working in teaching and non-teaching (administrative) positions participated. A five-point Likert scale based online survey questionnaire was circulated through ‘gatekeepers’ via purposive, referral, networking and connections, while PLS-SEM is used for data analysis. Findings revealed that eustress significantly and positively affects working efficiency, while distress and hyper-and hypo-stress significantly and negatively affect university personnel’s working efficiency. Additionally, experienced and aged personnel have higher ‘eustress’, while young employees exhibit higher ‘distress’ due to lower emotional and moral support at the workplace. The UK university personnel are more vulnerable to stress than Pakistani university staff. Experienced employees frequently use social support to deal with hyper-stress.
