Abstract

This study examines the psychological skills of university professors in the context of digital transformation, focusing on self-awareness, stress management, and self-confidence. The rapid digitalization of higher education has reshaped teaching practices and imposed new psychological demands on academic staff, making psychological readiness a key factor in the success of digital teaching environments. The study adopted a descriptive research design and was conducted at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of M’Sila. The sample consisted of 43 university professors selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire designed to measure the targeted psychological skills, and appropriate statistical methods were employed for analysis. The results indicated that university professors possess high levels of self-awareness and stress management skills, as well as a very high level of self-confidence in dealing with digital teaching requirements. The findings also suggest an interrelated relationship among these skills, highlighting the importance of psychological preparedness in enhancing effective adaptation to digital transformation in higher education.
