Multidimensional Analysis of Teachers' Technostress: Sources, Impacts, and Mitigation Strategies

Abstract

In the process of digital transformation in education, technostress among the teaching profession has become a critical variable affecting both educational quality and occupational health. This study systematically integrates existing empirical research findings from the international academic community to construct a three-dimensional "sources-impacts-mitigation" analytical framework for technostress. The research reveals that teachers' technostress originates from the complex interaction between technological characteristics, organizational environments, and individual traits. Its negative impacts manifest not only as impairments to physical and mental health at the individual level but also weaken the effectiveness of educational systems by reducing willingness for pedagogical innovation and organizational commitment. Effective mitigation strategies require simultaneous attention to human-centered improvements in technology design, optimization of school support systems, and cultivation of teachers' digital resilience. This study provides both theoretical foundations and practical pathways for educational organizations to build comprehensive technostress management systems.
