Abstract: Abstract During the unprecedented times of the Covid crisis, the government and many employers recommended the use of ZOOM as a videoconferencing tool to resume work and organize meetings and events, and the term ‘Zoom fatigue’ gained momentum simultaneously. While distance teaching has been practiced and researched for a while now, this massive radical move to online education is not only quantitatively but also qualitatively different. Undeniably, techno-driven work is a new reality; on the one hand, it offers ample opportunities, but on the other hand, the excess exposure of it may cause somatic outcomes and exhaustion. This study aims to understand the effect of Zoom fatigue on psychological well-being. Also, the work–family interface (i.e., work–family conflict, and family–work conflict) is tested in a moderating role. Empirical data from a cross-sectional study collected from academic moms in India provides evidence regarding the effect of zoom fatigue on psychological well-being; however, the work–family conflict shows a significant moderation effect between the hypothesized relationship, but the work–family conflict effect is insignificant. Results have been analyzed using SPSS 15v. Practical implications are further discussed in the paper.
