County Teachers’ Occupational Well-Being on the Integration of New Technology: Reference to an Enhanced Work-Life Balance Program

This study investigates the impact of new technology integration on county teachers' occupational well-being, focusing on the role of enhanced work-life balance programs in mitigating associated challenges. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 200 county-level teachers through surveys and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between technology integration and occupational well-being, indicating that increased technology use is associated with higher stress levels and reduced job satisfaction. Qualitative findings supported this, highlighting themes of increased workload, insufficient training, and lack of technical support. However, teachers participating in enhanced work-life balance programs reported higher levels of well-being and better coping mechanisms. The study concludes that while technology integration poses challenges to teachers' well-being, effective work-life balance programs can alleviate these negative effects. Future research should explore the long-term effects of technology integration and the efficacy of various support interventions.
