Techno-Stressors, Perceived Techno-Support and Psychological Wellbeing of Academic Staff in Uganda's Public Universities
REFNo: SS4674ES
The study seeks to understand how technology-related pressures affect the psychological wellbeing of academic staff in Uganda’s public universities. It explores the key techno-stressors lecturers face, the level of techno-support they receive, and how these two forces interact to shape their wellbeing. The project also digs into staff experiences and coping stories, aiming to uncover whether strong support systems can buffer or reduce the negative impact of techno-stress. Ultimately, the research hopes to generate practical recommendations that universities can use to lower techno-stress and boost staff wellbeing in an increasingly digital academic world.
