SWS-Survey was applied to a 53 professors’ sample from Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) as an ad hoc instrument to measure their stress and support levels (available resources). The research’s emphasis was marked in labor-organizational area, performing as educators at university level. Results were compared to another 193 individuals’ sample compound by their homologues from National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and one more with 48 individuals from Metropolitan University in Education Sciences (UMCE) of Santiago de Chile. Found evidence suggests that UAM professors have wide personal and social resources to overcome stress in those areas; nevertheless, they show high stress levels at work and low organizational support level; besides, they perceive unsatisfactory labor and wage conditionsDownloads
