Abstract: This study investigated the impact of educational qualification on work stress management among academic administrators in South-East Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population of the study is 786 academic administrators consisting of deans of 103 faculties, heads of the entire 572 academic departments and 111 directors of institutes/centres. The study sampled the whole population for the study. The instrument for data collection was a researcher-developed questionnaire titled the Work Stress of Academic Administrators Questionnaire (WSAAQ). Results showed that there is a significant difference between the mean ratings of academic administrators of universities concerning the impact of work stress on job performance based on educational qualification with Ph.D holders having a higher mean rating. The state and federal governments should employ more academic staff with a higher degree, offer in-service training among others to ensure high productivity of academic administrators.
