The objectives of this study were to identify the technostress level experienced by academicians, to identify the technostress component most experienced by the academicians, to examine differences in technostress level according to gender, marital status, age and designation, to examine differences in technostress among academicians who have different feelings towards technology and finally to identify differences in technostress among academicians who have different levels of technophobia. One hundred and eighty-nine academicians from various designatiorls participated in this study and data was collected using the Personal Technostress Inventory (PTSI), developed and used by Rosen and Weil in 1998 and 1999. The majority of the respondents reported a medium level of technostress, and only three respondents reported a high level of technostress. However, none of the respondents reported not experiencing any technostress. The results of the study showed that there were various types of technostress frequently experienced by the respondents. They were societal technostress, time technostress, boundary technostress, workplace technostress, family technostress, and communication technostress. The type of technostress least experienced by the respondents was learning technostress. The t-test result showed that there was no difference in technostress level according to gender. However, there are differences in technostress level according to the status of marriage of the respondents. The study found that respondents who are married experienced more technostress compared to their unmarried counterparts. The One-way ANOVA test showed that there are significant differences in respondents' technostress levels according to age, designation, feelings towards technology and level of technophobia. A Post-Hoc test was utilized and the result showed that younger respondents experienced less technostress compared to the older ones. The same applied to the difference of technostress level according to designation. Tutors were found to experience the least technostress compared to language instructors. There is also a significant .difference in technostress level between language instructors and lecturers, as well as associate professors. The results of the study also showed that academicians with different feelings towards technology also experience different level of technostress. Respondents who were interested and prepared to use technology experienced less technostress compared to respondents who delayed the need to use technology or waited until they really need to use them. There is also a significant difference in technostress level among the academicians with high technophobia and those with moderate and low technophobia. The results indicate that respondents who were technophobic experienced less technostress.
