Of late, the non-tenure lecturers' (NTL) employment is taken to meet the shortage of English language lecturers in Malaysian universities. Significant research has investigated the effects of NTLs' appointments on teaching, students, and university performance; however, little scholarly work has focused on the psychological experiences of NTLs. With the job market's escalating demands, the prevalence of occupational stress has become a matter of great concern for both universities' administrators and NTLs. The purpose of this case study was to shed light and explore NTLs' perceptions of occupational stress sources, stress effects, and coping strategies in a Malaysian public university. Purposive sampling was utilized to recruit study participants who met the sampling criteria. Data gleaned from in-depth semi-structured interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Results indicate that stigma and novice status was identified as the main stressor, followed by teaching-related engagements, students' negative factors, inadequate infrastructure, and non-teaching related engagements. Personal, social, professional, and institutional coping strategies were the coping strategies used to alleviate stress. The findings suggest prospects for institutional intervention by attending to NTLs' needs to mitigate adverse outcomes for students and universities by providing comprehensive stress training courses.

“…Mental health and well-being are crucial aspects of an organization's performance and success (Page et al, 2009).

This study provides insights into what makes teachers flourish in public sector universities of Sindh, Pakistan. Flourishing represents a balanced life where a person is happy with their status and is functioning effectively. The well-being of teachers has reportedly been lower than the general population (Education Support Partnership, 2019). Depressive symptoms were reported by 49% of 1189 academic staff members at 12 universities in Sindh, according to research on stress-related mental health problems in the Pakistani Scenario. Yet, research on evaluating teachers' mental health is lacking, notably among Pakistani university professors (Akram, 2019). Therefore, this study sheds light on the impact of perceived social support on educators' flourishing. Also, it discusses the boundary condition of challenge appraisals in this relationship. Statistical analysis was performed on data collected from 229 educators in Sindh, Pakistan's public sector universities. The result found a positive and statistically significant link between educators' perceptions of supervisors and co-worker support with educators' flourishing. However, challenge appraisal was found insignificant between exogenous and endogenous latent components. Overall, the study's findings suggest that perceived social support might help educators flourish at Sindh's public higher education institutions. The results' implications are discussed.
