Abstract

The modern educational environment is increasingly integrating digital technologies,
undoubtedly enhancing learning efficiency. However, these advancements present new challenges for
educators, including information overload, the constant need to acquire new skills, and adapting to
rapidly changing work conditions. These factors can lead to burnout and consequently, decreased job
satisfaction.
This study aims to investigate the correlation between the use of digital technologies in
education and teacher job satisfaction. The research will explore the following questions: How do
various types of digital technologies (online platforms, mobile apps, virtual reality, etc.) impact
teacher job satisfaction? What factors related to the use of digital technologies contribute to
increasing or decreasing levels of burnout? What role does teachers' digital competence play in their
job satisfaction?
To achieve the research objectives, a combination of methods will be employed, including
surveys, interviews, observations, and document analysis. The research findings will identify the most significant factors influencing teacher job
satisfaction when using digital technologies, and provide recommendations for optimizing the use of
digital technologies in education to enhance teacher well-being.
