The researcher used a well-planned 55-item checklist questionnaire to determine the effectiveness of the variables. The following are the significant findings of the study: First, the level of technostress in terms of techno- overload, techno-complexity, techno- insecurity, and techno- uncertainty are all very high, while the level of techno-invasion Is high. This can imply that technostress is existing in working environment of the teacher however they can positively handle it. Second, the level of teachers work efficacy in terms of job commitment, work efficiency, and teaching pedagogy are all very high.
