The lecturer's responsibility is to impart skills, experience and knowledge to their students for their future career or life. Teaching entails guiding classroom exercises to ensure students derive value from them. Excessive additional responsibilities for lecturers might compromise the quality of teaching and impact student outcomes. This article aims to investigate the correlation between stress and extra responsibilities among instructors. The study sample consisted of 96 lecturers employed at University of Cape Coast, Ghana, spanning both College of Education and School of Business. The results indicated that workloads were moderate, with a mean of 3.55, and stress had a mean of 3.18. Lecturers are not significantly burdened by workloads, which prevents stress among them. The study demonstrated that the teaching quality stays high despite the heavy workloads of lecturers, which positively impacts student achievement.
