Abstract

Demotivating emotions toward online teaching can potentially threaten teacher well-being and the quality of online education. While some scholars propose that addressing emotion-elicited problems is an effective strategy in online teaching, such a strategy is difficult to apply in practice when it requires a joint effort from multiple stakeholders. This research examines the role of agentic effort in handling negative emotions by analyzing fifteen higher education faculty's online teaching experiences. It applies an integrated conceptual framework to illustrate the strategic decision-making and implementation process instructors use to reduce their demotivating emotions associated with poor online teacher-student interactions. The findings provide insights into how HE faculty can maintain emotional well-being to ensure sustainable development in online education.
