The population of the study was 90 female business educators and the entire population was involved for the study. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was 0.85 established using Spearman Ranking Correlation. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation was used to answer all the research questions. While inferential statistics such as Z-test was used in testing all the null hypotheses. All the null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significant. The results indicated that culture, marital status and religious belief all have influence on job stress of female business educators in tertiary institutions in north-eastern States of Nigeria. Therefore, it was concluded that, the level of performance expected from female business educators was low.
