Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers had to adapt to the changes caused by remote working, experiencing prolonged stress situations that together with psychosocial factors can lead to burnout and psychosomatic health problems. This study focused on analyzing the influence of COVID-19 and psychosocial risks on psychosomatic problems and burnout at the peak of the pandemic in Spain, from March to April 2020. It combined two methodologies, hierarchical regression models (HRM) and qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). The two methodologies demonstrated greater predictive power for psychosocial demand factors (workload and role conflict) on burnout and psychosomatic health problems. In addition, the fsQCA models demonstrated the contribution of job insecurity and the lack of organizational justice, resources and COVID-19 information. These results can be used by educational managers to improve the daily work of teachers, impacting on the quality of teaching, as well as their response to pandemics, which will benefit society.
