Abstract

This study investigates teachers’ experiences and perspectives on online education to enhance teachers’ wellbeing
across the globe. Through interviews and focus groups with university teachers, positive aspects such as
increased efficiency and creative opportunities were found. Simultaneously, challenges of online teaching were
identified, such as declining student engagement, shifts in teacher identity, and weakened informal connections
with students. Job resources in online teaching include knowledge exchange, autonomy and support, whereas job
demands encompass time constraints and students’ dissatisfaction. Creating informal moments and establishing a
knowledge-sharing infrastructure are conducive to teachers’ well-being in online education.
