Abstract
This study examined the influence of occupational stress on the psychological health of the employees
of university libraries in Osun State, Nigeria. A random sample of 32 participants from selected
university libraries in Osun State, Nigeria was used. The result of the hypothesis revealed a weak
positive correlation between occupational stressors and psychological health status (N = 32, r = 0.427,
p = 0.015). The test also shows a weak positive correlation between the level of occupational stress
and psychological health status (N = 32, r = 0.493, p = 0.004). The study concluded that employees
who do not experience work-related stress would enjoy good health. The study also recommended that
the management of university libraries should ensure that they provide mentorship, funds, internet
facilities, and encouragement to their employees to ensure a stress-free work environment so that
library employees would continue to enjoy good health.
