Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of workload and nonphysical
work environment on elementary school teachers' job-related stress during
a pandemic. The study included a poll of 68 primary school teachers who taught
during the Covid-19 outbreak. Multiple Linear Regression was used to evaluate the
data. The empirical tests indicate that respondents perceive an increase in
workload, which leads to tremendous job stress. Simultaneously, the concept that a
tremendous non-physical work environment might help minimize job-related stress
is not supported. Additionally, respondents prefer face-to-face learning in the long
run due to the various hurdles they confront. This study sheds light on the growth of
job stress among elementary school teachers due to excessive workloads and the
pressure to perform a variety of "new" activities in a short amount of time. However,
generalizing the findings of this study has several limitations. The subsequent
researchers can investigate with a longitudinal design to see the long-term effects
of future changes in teaching and learning patterns.
