Impact of Techno Stress on Teachers Work Performance at Higher Education in Udupi

Abstract

As computer technology improves, people should be able to carry out their activities more quickly and efficiently. However, some educators have reported difficulties while attempting to use computer technology in the classroom. Because of their pessimistic outlook on and reluctance to embrace computing technology, this line of thinking is also indicative of techno stress. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the social cognitive theory's viewpoint on the connection between people's judgments of their level of technological acceptance, their level of work overload, their sense of job insecurity, and technostress based on their level of physical and psychological stress. A total of 207 answers from faculty at Manipal Academy of Higher Education were used to compile the results of the survey. The data analysis showed that boosting instructors' confidence in using ICT in their teaching practices helped alleviate technostress. Individuals with a strong cognitive conviction in the usefulness of computers would experience less technostress as a result of their increasing workload and job stability.
