The Impact of Digital Stress on the Academic Performance of University Professors: A Theoretical Approach

Abstract

The world in the third millennium has witnessed an increasing orientation toward digitalization, which has become a fundamental pillar in the management of social institutions. The university is considered one of these institutions, especially after the shift toward hybrid education and remote work brought about by the coronavirus pandemic. In this research paper, we will address one of the consequences of this transformation, namely the digital stress experienced by university professors as a result of the excessive and unorganized use of technological tools, with the aim of identifying the dimensions of this stress and its effects on the efficiency and quality of their academic performance.
