“…Clearly, higher education students are vulnerable to psychological distress [68,69]. Frequent reports of stress and psychological distress in student populations may have led to some acceptance of distress as a normal part of student life [70,71].

The nature and context of education have changed dramatically in recent decades. The increased prioritisation of standardisation, performance indicators and metrics often means that holistic, afective and wellbeing education are seen as less important in the educational endeavour. The value of education for education's sake is under siege. Previous emphasis on the education of the whole person (i.e., moral and creative aesthetic development) is often replaced by a more functionalist perspective of education as servicing economic need and global capitalist interests. Marketization of education has increased at an exponential rate and has had an adverse impact on the health and well-being of both educators and students. This chapter elucidates how the triad of assessment, student well-being and academic well-being intersects in the ever increasing performative and neo-liberalist cultures of higher education. It demonstrates the reciprocal dynamic of stress that is becoming more and more evident among educators and students. The chapter makes the case for more empowering and human-centred educative contexts in order to facilitate beter educational outcomes for students and healthier outcomes for all involved in the educational endeavour.

Abstract:Our work life effectiveness and efficiency has increased tremendously with the help of technology. But at the same time, the use of technology has increased the stress at workplace. Technostress is causing a lot of physical as well as psychological problems among workers. This paper discusses various work stressors and suggests some techniques such as stress management programs, training programs, autonomy and social support, awareness and communication to deal with work stress related problems. Literature reviews have been done to understand and suggest on this issue. However, very little work has been done on this area till now and that is why, not enough literatures could be found to gather related information. This has been a major limitation of this paper. So, there is huge scope in future to work more elaborately on the causes of technostress and how in can be handled. In this regard, cultural, socio-demographic and occupational dimensions can also be considered.
