      abstract = {The study centred on management of work stress for enhanced job roles among academic staff: implications for effective planning and administration of higher education in Cross River State, Nigeria. Work stress arises when teachers perceive work demands as exceeding their capabilities to manage them. Symptoms can include irritability, difficulty concentrating, cynicism, and even a desire to leave the profession. Addressing these stressors is vital for effective planning and administration of educational needs and aspirations. The paper addressed possible ways to manage work stress, such as practising self-care through exercise, healthy eating, and mindfulness, setting realistic work-life boundaries, developing time management skills, building a strong support network with colleagues, and seeking professional development to improve skills and resilience. Recognising personal stress promotes effective management of work, which is a crucial component of a comprehensive stress management approach.  The study finally concluded, including implications for effective planning and administration of higher education within and outside the borders of Cross River State.},
