The objective of this research was to analyze the impact of teleworking on the work stress of university teachers due to the covid-19 pandemic, it also sought to establish the relationship between work exhaustion and work stress. A quantitative, descriptive and correlational methodology was used. The research design was non-experimental in a cross-sectional way, since data was only collected during the confinement period, in the months of August and September 2021. The study population was the teachers of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México. The results reveal that teleworking due to the covid-19 pandemic caused a mild level of job stress and a medium level of job burnout in a majority of university professors. The main symptoms associated with work stress that teachers manifested were gastrointestinal discomfort and headaches. In addition, female teachers presented higher levels of stress, compared to men.
