Examining the relationship between primary school teachers’ technostress levels and their work-life balance
Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between primary school teachers’ technostress levels and their work–life balance, as well as differences based on demographic variables. Method: The study employs a quantitative approach using a relational survey model. The sample consists of 250 primary school teachers working in Denizli (Merkezefendi and Pamukkale), selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a Demographic Information Form, Workplace Technostress Scale, and Work–Life Balance Scale,and analyzed using SPSS 20.0. Independent samples t-test, ANOVA, Tukey post-hoc tests, and correlation analysis were conducted. Findings: The findings indicate that teachers experience high levels of technostress, mainly due to lack of technological knowledge, frequent updates, and difficulties in understanding complex technologies. Although teachers generally maintain a high level of work–life balance, they experience occasional difficulties due to work-related pressures. Technostress levels do not significantly differ by age overall; however, older teachers experience higher stress in terms of technological uncertainty. Marital status and education level also influence certain dimensions. Conclusion/Contribution: The study reveals a strong and positive relationship between technostress and work–life balance. This indicates that technostress is a significant factor associated with work–life balance. The study contributes by highlighting the importance of supporting teachers in adapting to technological changes and improving their work–life balance in educational environments.
