This situation also affected teachers and school counselors who had to interact with students. The COVID -19 pandemic therefore provides a unique context for examining technostress among teachers and school counselors. This study examined teacher and school counselor technostress and the effects of COVID -19anxiety and organizational cynicism on technostress. The sample consisted of 276 teachers (x̄= 32.63) and 119 school counselors (x̄= 30.12). The results of the correlation analysis showed that there was a positive moderately significant relationship between technostress and Covid-19 anxiety in psychological counselors, and a moderately significant positive relationship between technostress and organizational cynicism. The results of the analysis showed that there was a positive moderately significant relationship between technostress and Covid-19 anxiety in teachers, and a positive moderately significant relationship between technostress and organizational cynicism. Results indicated that COVİD-19 anxiety and organizational cynicism were important predictors of teacher technostress. Among school counselors, organizational cynicism accounted for important variance in technostress. Specifically, higher COVID -19 anxiety and organizational cynicism were associated with higher technostress in the teacher group during COVID-19. COVID -19 Anxiousness influenced technostress differently in teachers and school counselors. Results show a positive correlation between teacher and school counselor technostress, COVID -19 anxiety, and organizational cynicism. The results suggest a predictive relationship between COVID -19 anxiety and organizational cynicism in teachers, organizational cynicism in school counselors, and technostress. Considering the results of the research, more research can be done to determine the technostress levels of teachers and school counselors and to intervene in this regard.}, number={6}, publisher={Erdal TOPRAKCI}
