Influence of subject choice, work overload and work stress on expatriate higher education teachers

Subject choice, work overload and work stress influence personal and professional lives of higher education teachers.

This paper presents one part of the work life balance survey and focuses on the influence of subject choice, work overload and work stress on higher education teachers in the GCC countries.
