Abstract: This study investigated the impact of gender on work stress among academic administrators in universities in South-East, Nigeria. One research question and one null hypothesis guided the study. The design adopted was a descriptive survey. The population of the study consisted of 786 universities academic administrators from both federal and state universities in the study area. The study sampled the whole population because of its manageable size. The Work Stress of Academic Administrators Questionnaire (WSAAQ) which consists of thirty items enabled the researchers to gather data for the study. The WSAAQ has four-point rating scale ranging from strongly agreed (4 point) to strongly disagreed (1 point) with Cronbach alpha of 0.90. The WSAAQ was validated by three experts. The research question and hypothesis were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and t-test, respectively. The finding of the study revealed that there was no significant between male and female university academic administrators on work stress experience in terms of job performance. The government should employ both male and female at an equal rate without bias of any kind.
