In the context of the increasing digitalisation of education, teachers are facing growing technological demands that may affect their professional well-being. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between digital competencies, technostress, and teachers’ professional well-being. The research was conducted on a sample of primary school teachers using validated questionnaires. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and one-way analysis of variance. The results showed a statistically significant negative relationship between digital competencies and technostress, as well as a positive relationship between digital competencies and professional well-being. Digital competencies proved to be a significant positive predictor of professional well-being, while technostress did not make a significant independent contribution. Differences in the level of technostress were also found with regard to teachers’ years of work experience. In conclusion, the results highlight the importance of strengthening digital competencies as a key resource for maintaining teachers’ professional well-being in a digital environment
