AB  - This paper presents the results of an investigation carried out among Master's and Doctoral agricultural science professors at an institute of higher education. The purpose of the study was to identify how academic stimulus programs have contributed to increasing the workload of professors who enter or continue in these programs. Academic stimulus programs consist of supplemental payments for productivity, and are prevalent in current educational policy. The main health effects identified by the study were psychosomatic, mental and back problems, and fatigue. Those who took part in academic stimulus programs were found to suffer higher rates of these problems than those who did not. Some of the main effects on relationships and jobs were also studied. In addition, interactions among some of the study variables are pointed out; for example, opinions regarding evaluation mechanisms and 
excessive work were found to be associated with the presence of fatigue and psychosomatic problems (p < 0.05). We propose to eliminate or reduce excessive requirement on workers or negative conditions derived from participation in grandts and stimulus programs, in order to reduce the risk of suffering from one of the diseases studied, given that the interaction between these components is conducive to greater development of pathological processes.
