This study was intended to investigate the level of technostress, teaching efficacy, ego-resilience, and the relationships with colleagues of early childhood teachers. It was also intended to identify correlations between these four variables, and any moderating effects of ego-resilience, and relationship with colleagues on the association of technostress and teaching efficacy.

The data were collected from 202 early childhood teachers in Seoul and Kyoung-gi province, from September 3, 2018 to September 29, 2018, and were analyzed by descriptive statistics, pearson correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis using the SPSS 22.0 program.

The results showed technostress at a moderate level, and teaching efficacy, ego-resilience, and relationship with colleague at slightly higher levels. There were negative associations between technostress and teaching efficacy, ego-resilience, and relationship with colleague teachers, and positive associations among teaching efficacy, ego-resilience, and relationship with colleague teachers. A partial moderating effect of ego-resilience and relationship with colleague teachers on the association between technostress and teaching efficacy, was found.

These results suggest that the effects of a high level of technostress on teaching efficacy of early childhood teachers could be alleviated dependant on the levels of ego-resilience and relationship with colleagues.
