This study generally investigated the technostress and demographic variables among high school teachers in the southern districts of the Department of Education- Division of Bukidnon and the whole of the Division of Valencia City, Bukidnon, Mindanao, Philippines. A total of 169 teachers were the participants of the study. The Technostress survey questionnaire adapted from Chen (2018) was utilized for the purpose of this investigation. The statistical tools used in treating the data for analysis were the descriptive statistics (frequency, mean and percentile). The results of the study revealed an overall mean of teachers’ technostress on techno-overload is 3.07; on technocomplexity 2.61; on techno-insecurity 2.33; and techno-uncertainty 3.51. The average mean of the teachers’ technostress is 2.89 which corresponds to “moderately affected by stress”. The study revealed that the greatest percentage (45.60 %) out of the total of one hundred sixty-nine (169) participants was within the 30-39 years old. Those within the age range of 40-49 years old followed with a percentage of 15.40, 14.8 % was recorded for the age range of 25-29 years old, 14.30 % falls on the age range of 24 years old and below. Those who belonged to the 50 years old and above were only 10.20 %. On the part of gender, majority of them are female constituting 97 participants (57.40 %) out of the 169 participants whereas the remaining 42.60 % or 72 participants are male.
