This paper presents the cross-sectional data obtained on both occasions as well as the longitudinal data provided by the stayers. Overall, the cross-sectional data from all participants showed some encouraging improvements. For example, there were increases in organisational commitment, job involvement, job autonomy, procedural fairness, and trust in senior management, as well as decreases in work pressure and job insecurity. However, there were also increases in psychological strain and work-home conflict. Longitudinal results from the stayers showed a similar pattern. These participants also showed increases in job involvement, job autonomy, belief in procedural fairness, and trust in senior management, and a decrease in job insecurity, together with increased work-home conflict and increased psychological strain. However, they did not show improvements in organisational commitment or work pressure, and also reported reduced job satisfaction.Attrition analyses revealed some Time 1 differences between the stayers and dropouts that might explain the discrepant findings. Neither the cross-sectional nor longitudinal changes were uniform across all universities, or all categories of staff. The improvements were more marked for general than for academic staff, and for female than for male staff. Regression analyses found that the best predictors of organisational commitment were job satisfaction and trust in senior management; the best predictors of trust in senior management were procedural fairness and organisational commitment; and the best predictor of job satisfaction was procedural fairness. Interestingly, the only significant predictor of psychological strain was neuroticism. The next stage of the research is to try to find out what interventions were introduced at each university and to link them to the observed improvements.  \nIntroduction  \nAcademic work has traditionally been regarded as non-stressful, but recent evidence suggests that this is no longer the case. The university system is under strain and evidence to support this proposition is available both nationally and internationally. Over the past 20 years there have been major reductions in government funding of public universities in most developed countries, and reports are growing of stress in university staff due to increased work pressure and reduced social support. Examples of these trends are reported byAltbach (1996),Hogan, Carlson and Dua (2002), and Richard and Krieshok (1989) in the US; Abouserie (1996), Kinman (2001), Kinman, Jones and  \nKinman (2006),Tytherleigh et al.

(2002, 2003), in Australia; Boyd and Wylie (1994) in New Zealand; and Taris, Schreurs and Van Iersel-Van Silfhout (2001) in the Netherlands.  \nSince universities play a vital role in the economic, environmental, intellectual, cultural and social life of Australia, these changes to working conditions have serious ramifications. Universities train the nation’s scientists and other professionalsand produce much ofits cutting-edge research.In order to fulfil this role successfully they need to attract and retain high quality staff, and provide them with a supportive working environment.Their ability to do so has been threatened over the past decade by deteriorating working conditions resulting from cuts to their operating grants.
