Abstract

As a result of the tremendous technological advancements brought forth by COVID-19, everyone now leads whole new lives and uses a variety of employment styles. Nowadays, many people work remotely or online, including some teachers in schools and institutions who occasionally choose online courses. Numerous changes occurred during COVID-19, which increased stress and altered job prospects for individuals in the teaching and IT industries. In order to better understand the phenomena, their underlying causes, and the elements that influence them, as well as the relationship between them, this study’s purpose was conceptualised as such. In order to achieve the goal, a questionnaire was created and distributed across all of India to individuals working in the teaching and IT industries. The purpose of the questionnaire was to determine how COVID-19 will affect these two professions and to identify the differences between maladaptive behaviour. The responses were compared using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) t-test in order to further analyse the data. The results of the study indicated a significant difference in the maladaptive behaviour of Teaching and IT Professionals during COVID 19.
