This study investigates the concept, development, and influencing factors of work stress among university lecturers. Work stress primarily originates from factors such as inadequate professional skills, heavy workloads, career development pressures, strained colleague relationships, and family life, exerting profound effects on lecturers' psychological, behavioral, and physiological well-being. Previous research explores this through methods like surveys and case studies, proposing strategies involving collaboration among lecturers, school organizations, the government, and society to alleviate work stress. However, current research on university lecturers' work stress has some limitations. Looking forward, future research on university lecturers' work stress expands in four directions: First, systematically exploring the positive effects of work stress among university lecturers; second, standardizing qualitative and quantitative research on work stress; third, delving into university lecturers' work stress from the perspective of psychological contracts; and fourth, conducting research on work stress among different types of university lecturers for a more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon.
