Abstract: The objectives of this study were to investigate the moderating effects of perceived organizational support on the relationship between the technostress creators and organizational commitment among school teachers. This study was conducted at six selected schools in Selangor involving 173 school teachers. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analyses. The findings revealed that technostress creators had positive and significant relationships with organizational commitment. It shows that certain amount of technostress can enhance the level of commitment. The results of regression analysis found that techno-uncertainty was the most influential factors towards organizational commitment followed by techno-insecurity. As for the moderating effect, it was found that perceived organizational support did act as moderator in the relationship between technostress creators and organizational commitment. It can be concluded that if the teachers perceived high organizational support, it can increase their level of commitment.
