The present descriptive study implementeda survey on 300 respondents selected via a stratified random sampling technique. The quantitative data was collected through the teacher's technostress level Likert scale by Coklar, Efilti, and Sahin (2017), which was analyzed with the help of percentage, mean, standard deviation, and test of significance (t-test) statistical techniques. The results indicated significant differencesin the technostress levels of pedagogues based on demographic variables such as gender and Locale. Based on gender, the findings of this empirical study indicate that female teachers exhibit a greater susceptibility to technostress compared to their male counterparts. Additionally, teachers hailing from rural areas were observed to display higher levels of technostress in comparison to those from urban areas. In this context, technostress must be dealt with meticulously to practice and perform teaching-learning activities effectively, efficiently, and expeditiously.
