The objective of this study was to find the factors intrinsic to work stress of active teachers in Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, other than work overload (WO). In addition, it aimed to establish, with an unsupervised model, how the identified factors predict WO. The approach was mainly quantitative, supported by principal component analysis and linear regression by introduction, to build the model. The instrument examined the categories: work emotions, work requirements, work resources, burnout, and technological resources for the work activity. The results show an overall alpha of 0.856. Ten intrinsic factors were obtained that explain 71.331% of the variance, of which six contribute to predict WO: work at home, social support, technological didactic resilience, student motivation, emotional self-control, and job uncertainty. In conclusion, it was found that teachers had the technological and didactic capacity for resilience, which allowed them to adapt to remote presence; and that collaborative work among teachers contributes to reduce academic stress due to WO. However, job uncertainty has an impact on WO.
