Abstract: This study aims to investigate the factors contributing to the stress levels of teachers in educational institutions of Pakistan during the shift towards the online mode of education. This quantitative study used a survey questionnaire to obtain data from the teachers. The questionnaire included the items on workload, technical hurdles, social contact, and work-life balance of distance learning teachers while transmission towards online mode. A sample size of 75 teachers was selected for the study. The findings of the study showed that technological challenges such as connectivity issues, coping up with new emerging technology, meeting deadlines and multitasking are the major factors of stress for teachers. They find it difficult to somewhat keep the balance between personal and professional life. On the other hand, the teachers are satisfied by the provided institutional support.
