The study aimed to identifying the pressures of administrative work and its relationship to organizational depression among the administrative leaders in Jordanian public universities. The descriptive correlational methodology was used for the purposes of the study. The study sample consisted of (51) deans, (61) deputy deans and (128) department heads. They answered the (60) item study tool items distributed under administrative work pressure and organizational depression.

The domains were in descending order as follows: pressures from role conflict, the pressures resulting from the nature of work and its workload, and the pressures resulting from the ambiguity of the role. The results also showed that the level of organizational depression among administrative leaders in public Jordanian universities from their point of view was medium. The domains -in descending order- were as follows: physical depression, psychological depression and behavioral depression.
