Abstract

Internationally, a great effort was made to discover the impact of COVID-19 on the education system with a focus on learning techniques and students’ mental health, but little of the stress professors’ status. We do not find a study till now focusing on the impact of COVID-19 on Professors' mental health or the effect on staff productivity, especially in hospitality and tourism management faculties. So, it represents a pioneer study in this field. Therefore, an online survey scale was made and sent by email to post-secondary schools of hospitality and tourism management professors in Canada. The sample consisted of 58 participants of professors. The data collected was analyzed statistically using a software program (SPSS v.22.) Analyses illustrated that there is a negative impact of online teaching in the COVID-19 era on professors' mental health and courses productivity. Also, there is no clear effect of gender and age categories on the result. The gathered information represented that COVD-19 contrarily affects educators' emotional well-being. Where the outcome shows that changing direction conveyance, in post-auxiliary schooling in Canada, from face-to-face to web-based showing move the teacher's status to be more overpowered and pushed.
