The Impact of Technostress on Teacher Educators’ Work–Family Conflict and Life Satisfaction While Working Remotely during COVID-19 in Pakistan

This study aims to examine the relationship between teacher educators’ technostress, work–family conflict, and life satisfaction while working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan. The sample consists of 292 respondents, 151 (51.7%) male and 141 (48.3%) female teacher educators, who participated in this study. Three scales, the Technostress Scale (TS), Work–Family Conflict Scale (WFCS), and the Life-Satisfaction Scale (LS), were administered to determine the impact of demographic variables (i.e., gender, age, qualification) on teachers’ technostress, work–family conflict, and life satisfaction. The findings of the study suggest a positive correlation of technostress with work–family conflict (r = 381) and life satisfaction (r = 0.449). Moreover, gender differences were found in the variables of technostress (t = −3.506, df = 290, p ≤ 0.05), work–family conflict (t = −2.834, df = 290, p ≤ 0.05), and life satisfaction (t = −2.916, df = 290, p ≤ 0.05). The present research is a baseline study within the context of Pakistan to report the findings in terms of educators’ technostress, keeping balance between work and life, and status of life satisfaction as a result of teaching virtually while working from home during the pandemic.
