Abstract :This study explores the impact of Zoom fatigue on the mental workload and quality of life of academicians. The research involved 164 academicians. Data were collected using the Zoom Exhaustion & Fatigue Questionnaire (ZEFQ), the CarMen-Q Questionnaire for Mental Workload, and the Professional Quality of Life Scale. Regression analyses revealed significant associations between Zoom fatigue and mental workload (F=48.988, p<0.05), burnout (F=20.045, p<0.05), and compassion fatigue (F=22.233, p<0.05). The findings suggest that Zoom fatigue contributes to increased mental workload and decreased quality of life. Interventions aimed at alleviating Zoom fatigue may be crucial for enhancing the well-being of academicians.
