dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the sources and management of stress among the administrative and technical staff of States Sport Councils in Nigeria. An ex-post facto research design was used for this study. The population for the study was the male and female administrative staff and technical staff of States Sport Councils. A questionnaire was used to collect the data for this study in eleven states selected from the six geo-political zones of the country through stratified and purposive sampling technique (two states from each stratum and Abuja). The data collected were statistically analyzed using t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. It was found that the major sources of stress experienced by both employees of States Sport Councils was work-related sources of stress and that the most appreciated strategy used by both of them to manage stress was social support. Also gender, age, educational qualifications and working experiences of administrative and technical staff significantly influenced their sources of stress experiences in States Sport Councils. Furthermore gender, educational qualifications and job designations of administrative and technical staff did not influence the strategies they used to manage stress in States Sport Councils. The researcher therefore suggested that stress reduction awareness programmes such as lectures, campaigns, seminars, and workshops should be conducted regularly and periodically in States Sport Councils to help employees build stress management skills.en_US
