Navigating The Digital Classroom: Mitigating Technostress To Enhance Teacher Well-Being And Performance
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The use of technology in learning institutions has impacted on the teaching and management systems to enhance the quality of education and organizational performance but brings about challenges such as technostress among teachers. This stress, including overload, invasion, complexity, uncertainty, and insecurity, was made worse by the COVID-19 transition to online teaching. Technostress at high levels affects the capacity to handle work-related demands, decreases attention and increases mistakes, thus, diminishes job performance. The pressure to learn new technologies leads to cognitive overload, frustration, and health issues, and all these affect well-being. Based on the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this paper suggests training, teacher involvement, and technical assistance to counter these effects, thus improving job satisfaction and productivity in schools.
