对澳大利亚一所城市大学的所有工作人员进行了调查。非临时工作人员的总体响应率为72%（一般工作人员为77%，学术人员为65%），样本N = 2，040。尽管特质焦虑和工作满意度是正常的，但观察到高水平的心理压力。从事教学和研究的学术人员的心理困扰最高，工作满意度最低。总体而言，大学工作人员报告了高度的自主性和同事的社会支持。然而，从事教学和研究的人士则表示，削减大学拨款，令教学工作量增加，更难获得研究经费，而教学和研究的设施和支援亦减少。结果进行了讨论，在有关的需求控制和个人与环境的匹配模型的工作压力。
A survey was conducted of all staff members of an established Australian metropolitan university. The overall response rate for noncasual staff was 72% (77% for general staff and 65% for academic staff) resulting in a sample of N = 2,040. High levels of psychological stress were observed, despite the fact that trait anxiety and job satisfaction were normal. Psychological distress was highest and job satisfaction lowest among academic staff engaged in both teaching and research. In general, university staff reported high levels of autonomy and social support from colleagues. However those engaged in both teaching and research reported increased pressure arising fi-om funding cuts to universities, resulting in heavier teaching loads and greater difficulty in securing research funds, as well as a decline in facilities and support for both teaching and research. The results are discussed in relation to the Demand-Control and Person-Environment Fit models of job stress.
