The peculiarities of the Nigerian socio-political cum economic landscape has exposed academics to untold financial hardship and physical stress.In a bid to make up for lost time, the school calendar has been tweaked to ensure that academic activities are streamlined in the face of current time-bound realities.This correlation paper seeks to examine lecturer's workload as a correlate of work burnout and research procrastination in public universities in South East Nigeria.Two research questions and hypotheses were formulated to guide this study.The population of the study comprises all the teaching staff in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka and Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam.The Simple Random Sampling Technique was used to select 500 lecturers from across the faculties in NAU and COOU.Instruments for data collection include an adapted version of the Work Stressor Questionnaire, an adopted version of Maslach's Work Burnout Inventory and an adapted version of the McCloskey Academic Procrastination Questionnaire.Data collected were analysed using regression statistics.Findings revealed that increased workload predicted work burnout and research procrastination among NAU lecturers.It was recommended that universities should return to a one academic session per year and lecturers should be granted at least four months every year for research and career development.
