| Abstract: | This research examines the effects of technostress on educators' productivity within Jordan's higher education sector, highlighting gender differences. Technostress, characterized by techno-overload, techno-invasion, techno-complexity, techno-insecurity, and techno-uncertainty, adversely affects productivity. The study gathered data from 500 educators through a structured online survey, achieving a 73% response rate. Analysis revealed that technostress generally decreases productivity, with a more pronounced negative impact on male educators than females. The findings underscore the necessity for targeted interventions to mitigate technostress, particularly among male educators. Strategies recommended include training programs, policy adjustments, and organizational support to enhance the digital teaching environment. This study contributes to the understanding of technostress in Jordanian educational settings. It offers practical recommendations for enhancing e-learning practices and improving the overall educational experience and productivity in Jordan's higher education sector. |
