Abstract
This study aimed to identify postgraduate students' perceptions of the role of faculty members in reducing stress at Yarmouk University. It further sought to assess students' estimates based on Gender, Major, and Study Level. Data was collected from a random sample of 391 postgraduate students using a questionnaire consisting of 35 items. The results indicated that the overall student estimation of the role of faculty members in reducing stress was moderate. Furthermore, significant statistical differences were found between respondents' means at (α = 0.05) with respect to Major for both the educational situation inside the classroom and academic supervision dimensions. In addition, the results showed significant statistical differences between respondents' means with respect to Gender for both academic supervision and human relations dimensions, whereas there were no significant statistical differences for the educational situation inside the classroom dimension. Finally, no significant statistical differences were reported concerning Study Level for all dimensions. In light of these results, the authors made some concluding remarks and recommendations, emphasizing the need for faculty members to focus on reducing stress among postgraduate students and to activate methods and strategies that would contribute to stress reduction.
