Abstract: The study investigated work stress and gender determinants of job satisfaction among early childhood educators in Cross River State, Nigeria. The study adopted a correlational research design with a sample size of 362 respondents. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire developed by the researchers. Mean and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Analysis was used to answer research questions, while Linear regression was used to test the null hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The result of the study showed that work stress is a significant determinant of job satisfaction among early childhood educators in Cross River State. Gender is also a significant factor in determining job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is enhanced when work stress is reduced. It is recommended, among others, that the government and school proprietors should always meet early childhood educators' needs to reduce work stress and enhance their job satisfaction. Key Words:Work stress, Job Satisfaction, Gender
