Abstract
Academic (over-)workload is an issue in tertiary education globally nowadays. This paper examines the socio-demographic factors of the academics that influence academics' perception to (over-)workload at an Australian university using data collected from the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) during the period of February-March 2014. This study has used descriptive and inferential analysis to achieve the objective of the paper. The main finding of this study is that native language status (a measure of ethnicity) of the academics is a statistically significant factor that determine the academics' perceptions toward (over-)workload. The policy implication is that education administrators will have to give attention to the working conditions of the academics in order to expand online education successfully.
